If you ever installed so called "advertising supported" software, that was
where you probably received the dlls in questions.  Software like GetRight,
which a lot of people use, installs the software.  See http://www.grc.com
for additional information.

    Attention AllAdvantage Users:
    It has come to my attention, that All Advantage corp. 's software for
    surfing the net for money, has some dll files that do some interesting
    things.
    They are detailed in this text file, written by acecww,
    http://home.cyberarmy.com/acecww/advert.txt , please read it, it shows
    many things, such as screwing with the registery, and unregistering
    dll's, replacing the code, then when your browser closes, putting
    everything back to the way it was. Anyone else have any comments,
    questions, or just plain outrage, please reply to this email.
