This is good, and you can get free stuff like Ad-Ware, which is a god-send.

I also have a hijack browser thing, a spybot thing, pop-up stopper and avg anti-virus just to make the internet work properly.

Tis a pain, to be sure.
I also have a registry cleaner, but i can't get rid of this one hijack attempt.

Doesn't load.
I found the key, got rid of it with reg cleaner, but it comes back. It's given up trying to hijack 6 times a day now, which is good.

EDIT - try and find a thing called hijackthis - it shows you all registry items/processes. then delete the blighter (if you can spot it)
