I don't if this new, or considered as spyware, but it was certainly installed without a users knowledge or without UT blocking it.
However UT does block the site, the below appears in the spyware blocker list:
dynamic.smartshopper.com
/Dynamic/Disp/5.0/SiteDisp.dll?GetSDF&Dom=nokia%
dynamic.smartshopper.com
/Dynamic/Disp/5.0/SiteDisp.dll?GetSDF&Dom=google%
Thinking about it I'm not sure if they appeared there after Samrtshopper got installed...
Any ideas how it got through, or how is best to prevent it?
Edit:
Smartshopper first starts appearing in the list while the user was reading their AOL mail, so I presume the above enteries were after it installed as both these appear first:
cfg.SmartShopper.com
reports.SmartShopper.com
