This signature detects the runtime behavior of ExactSeek. ExactSeek modifies Internet Explorer search settings and installs additional spyware on a user's computer, such as FizzleBar, which generates pop-up advertisements; and the browser hijackers: Richfind and Softomate, which redirect search attempts to different sites.
