Need help with popups / browser hijackings...
Advertisements [?]

Ok, I'm using adaware (www.lavasoft.de ) and even spybot. the problem seems to be fixed on my pc, but my wife's pc keeps reverting back.

Essentially, I run adaware and spybot, delete all the tracking and browser hijack files, etc. Then, after a reboot, her browser re-sets itself from her homepage to searchclick.net or what have you. ALSO, it runs this insidious little program that converts keywords in any webpage she views into this little hyperlinks back to searchclick (or whatever it is).

What can I do to eradicate this thing?
