I keep getting Lycos Sidesearch installed on my computer and I really have no idea how it keeps getting there. I will uninstall it, but it seems to reinstall itself a few days down the road. I just don't get this.

Spybot doesn't pick it up and I cannot find any information on it other than general information on the program itself.

Now today, I noticed that it put itself back when I rebooted after deleting spyware from the registry.

Is this weird or what? Is this thing unsolicited ad stuff??
