New.net and CoolWebSearch, at least in my limited experience in delousing family and friends computers, (outside of the doubleclick cookie) have been the most prevalent. Depending on which version of New.net inflicts itself upon the user ie whether it appears in the add/remove programs list or not, seems to be reflective of the difficulty of removal.
