I guess I have spyware but now it's really starting to get bad. My pages won't even load most of the time. Just give me the error when loading the page. I have spyware: search & destroy (and have had it for awhile). I searched through that and really it was just cookies spread about. Then I noticed my pages were being redirected to a page called freesearch (http://www.freesearch.com). I then searched through my registry in current_user and found something called freesearch then deleted it. I restarted boot back up and I still have the problem of it not loading but freesearch is gone. I searched for ads as well and got rid of a few adware keys but I'm still getting a buncha shit. I mean this is crazy. Everytime I solve a problem another one comes up. I've done everything and now I think that there is something sneaking files in!

I think you meant spybot. But get ad-aware its better. Run that then run a virus scan.
edit-also get a program called hijack-this

i never have this problem becuse just about every other day i delete the cookies by going to tools>internet options>delete cookies and every time i run ad-ware i never have a problem, because usually its just tracking cookies that it finds.

Go for a format. Also you might want to get a program called spysweeper. ITs like ant antivirus for spyware it blocks them from coming in.

I don't need to delete my cookies cause I block "ads" cookies and and "gator" or anything such as that.

I have formatted my pc 2 times in the past 8 months.
