Here's a description of FindBasic Desktop Search:

"FindBasic Desktop Search turns your browser address bar (the place where you generally type in web site addresses) into an Internet search box. Installation of FindBasic Desktop overrides most pre-existing, error resolution applications (like Google Desktop or Yahoo Toolbar), so that when you input search terms or un-resolvable web site addresses, or keywords, you will be provided with responsive, sponsored and un-sponsored Internet search results via the FindBasic Search service or you may be directly navigated to a brand owner's site via one of our third party partners."

Quoted from: http://findbasic.com/?tmp=findbasic_terms_conditions

The following file names have been used in the wild:
findbasic114.exe, findbasic115.exe and findbasic117.exe.

I assume we will see findbasic118.exe, findbasic119.exe, findbasic120.exe, findbasic121.exe, findbasic122.exe, findbasic123.exe, findbasic124.exe, findbasic125.exe, findbasic126.exe, findbasic127.exe, findbasic128.exe, findbasic129.exe, findbasic130.exe, findbasic131.exe, findbasic132.exe, findbasic133.exe, findbasic134.exe, findbasic135.exe, findbasic136.exe, findbasic137.exe, findbasic138.exe, findbasic139.exe, findbasic140.exe, findbasic141.exe, findbasic142.exe, findbasic143.exe, findbasic144.exe, findbasic145.exe, findbasic146.exe, etc appearing soon.

Does anyone know how FindBasic is distributed? How does it end up on the users' machines?

I have an idea on how findbasic ended up on my xp.
I downloaded a theme called biob.exe for my xp from a free website.After downloading and installing i claimed to install a few other 3rd party software to cover the sponsorships. one of them was findbasic
