TOPicks

TOPicks is an Internet Explorer toolbar that shows sponsored links to other sites. DoxDesk.com reports that TOPicks can silently download and execute unsigned code from its controlling server tpdownload.topicks.com.

"TOPicks also has distribution agreements with other popular Internet software, that provide TOPicks as a bundled bonus to their users. If you have TOPicks on your computer, and you have not installed it yourself, this is probably how it was installed. These types of distribution agreements enable software companies to keep great Internet software free." Source
