#1: Make sure to "check for updates" before running Spybot.

 

#2: Go to download.com and d/l Ad Aware Build 181. Make sure to have the program check for updates before doing the scan. Ad Aware is pretty much the best of all of the Spyware removal programs. I use both Ad Aware and Spybot: Search and Destroy in conjunction and have no Spyware problems w/ any of my PC's.

HIJACKTHIS is a good one for giving your a list of things such as search bars. You do have to sort through them all manually and find the ones that don't belong, checkmark them, and then hit the fix marked button. Its cool though.

worked. thanks Joe.

No problem. I deal with this a lot at work (you should see some of the totally messed up machines people somehow try to surf the net with). Those two programs are a lifesaver. I'm not a big fan of the new Spybot interface; I'm still using their previous version; haven't decided if I'll upgrade or not.
