Name:	Adware.CnsMin
Threat Level:	High
Description:	CnsMin is another keyword-lookup provider that takes over the search feature of IE's address bar. It is aimed at providing keywords using Chinese characters. Other than replacing the IE search feature with a Chinese site likely to be incomprehensible to non-Chinese users, CnsMin is not overtly harmful, but it uses extremely anti-social methods to make it difficult to uninstall. Is installed by ActiveX drive-by-download at its company's site, 3721.com. Has also apparently been included in junk e-mail, which could be how some Western users have ended up with it.
