will tell you all about how to remove it.
Edit to add that normal anti-spyware tools are not good at all at detecting SpySherrif (it is part of the 'SmitFraud' family) Hence why there is a standalone tool created by someone, called SmitFraudFix.
You also didn't have to install it, it will install itself through various things. Active X is the easiest way it has to install it.
