According to a story in Wired (mentioned on Eric Meyer's site),

<http://www.wired.com/news/infostructure/0,1377,57467,00.html>

Xupiter is a browser toolbar which changes home page and search settings
to Xupiter's site.  We have had infestations of similar pests in our
Gates PC lab.  This one sounds like it's particularly hard to get rid
of.
