Reply: (edit)I had the same problem. I located the "Commonname" folder in my Program Files directory and there was an unist.exe file. I clicked it, and it took me to their website where it ran an uninstall. After that completed, and I rebooted, the issue was resolved.

Reply: (edit)This is most definately spyware, you should get rid of it asap. Try adaware from Lavasoft. There is a light version which is free. Run it and delete any instances it finds. You will now find that you are back to normal.
