1: One has two possible names. It is called either Jword or CnsMin. I cannot google for this name because all sites i find are extremely suspicious. It seems harmless and i think the purpose is to actually help with something when searching in either japanese or chinese, but it was forcefully installed against my will when installing support for chinese in XP on this machine a while ago. It cannot be removed normally as it just reinstalls itself at startup. It even creates a start menu entry.
2: The other one struck me quite recently and it is highly critical for me especially since it was originally only slightly annoying but is now turning into a complete browser-destructor. What it does is that it replaces the top search hits in any search engine (and any browser, i use Firefox normally but it strikes both Firefox and IE) with some fake links. Here is a screenshot. Observe that none of the urls shown match with the actual website (which should be www.slashdot.org) and how it seems to maintain the original TEXT of the hit making it actually look like a legitimate site.
