the problem is the internet explorer browser.
it has little to no security for itself
go get firefox. Its nice safe and secure.

you shouldn't get "hijacked" again as long as you don't load IE

This is not a problem at all. Here's what you need to do.
1st, don't waste your time with AVG, spybot, ad aware, CA, spyhunter, superantispyware, avast, panda, kaspersky, spyware blaster, spyware guard, windows defender or anything of the sort. Stay away from anything that is FREE when it comes to spyware and antivirus. There is a reason why they free. They are NOT good.
2nd, You need some of the best software out there. Norton Systemworks is very good. That's the only good software from Norton. I wouldn't recommend Norton Internet security, its not that great. Now the best software you should get is Spysweeper with Anti-virus, this software is too good and gets better everyday. This is Elite software. It blocks over 433,000 definition threats, which contain several fringerprints with each(you can do the math). No other software can compete with that or come close for that matter. It catches everything and has active shields. I've used them all and it is 2nd to none.
3rd, after you install and update the software, since its in your system you will have to turn off system restore and then go into safe mode and run the scan and eliminate the virus. then after removal, reboot and turn system restore back on.
4th, (Optional) I recommend a Firewall from Zone Alarm, their free version is so good. Or you can buy their Pro version, but the free version will do more than the job.
5th, any probs during or after you do all this, send me an e-mail or IM. I guarenDAMNtee my answers and will help you in person from IM if needed.

first of all, forget about using Internet Explorer - this program is the opened gate for all spyware and viruses. You'd better use Opera or Mozilla Firefox.
Second, to protect your pc, you'd need not one but at least three programs: an anti-virus, an anti spyware and a firewall. I've been using for quite a long time three programs: Kaspersky AV (www.kaspersky.com), True Sword: http://www.securitystronghold.com/download/site/ActiveShield4.exe and Agnitum Outpost Firewall Pro (www.agnitum.com). These programs were recommended by my friend, who is a professional programmer, so now i have no problems with any kinds of viruses, spyware or adware
Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
