    I'm having a problem with my google search.
    Each time I put something into a search field and press SEARCH, it takes few seconds before next page shows up. it shows up with a PopUp window of ad ( like spyware stuff) and page with advertisment.
    Example:
    while searching for ad aware i get first page just as google, same address but all entries are advertisment, of free downloads of Spamsoftware.
    I scanned my whole machine with ad aware, SpyBot S&D, as well as scanned for viruses. Everything was cleared.
    I run HijackThis and got the following:

    Running processes:

    THnx for your help Pieter.
    I already reinsstalled, so i'm problem free, however I did found what was the name of the ad. It is called CoolSearch, and yes the tool you recomended CWShredder.exe removes it. I sure will know for te future.
    Thnx again
