    Default Some spyware controls my browser and redirects me

    I'm here because I need help. I got a nasty infection that manifest itself in many ways. I have mcaffee, that doesn't help. I have Spyware Doctor, it doesn't help and they don't respond to support emails (I'll be pulling my subscription). I downloaded Spybot and gave it a try. Maybe, not 100 percent sure, but appears to fix some of the problem. But the lingering problem is that I get browser redirects to sites that no doubt are reinfecting me. This especially happens like if I search in Google, then click on a link. I go to the link and then a few seconds later get redireted to a different site, usually with the same URL, passing the key words I typed into google, which is pretty scary that it's capturing my key strokes or input somehow. I think that at the same time I got this virus or whatever it is, it created an IE add-on that calls itself Rolex. Even with IE add-ons disabled, it does the same redirects. What can I do to get rid of this thing? Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. -- Mike

    Default By the way

    When I ran Spybot a second time, it found two register entries it already fixed. These entries come back time and time again.
