    There seems to be something, whenever I search though a search engine, no matter if its msn, dogpile, google, yahoo. The first page is always ads unrelated to teh search, while the second page is a little better, still holds results that I would not normally get. I am running xp home edition sp2, i run hjt, adaware, and spybot quite often but without success to solving the problem. Any suggestions?
