German Spyware?

    I have used AdAware, and Spybot S&D (along with Norton Internet Security Professional). I still randomly get re directed to a rather graphic pornographic search engine. (Not fun when the in-laws are over!) There is an error during S&D that is written as a warning in German, but mentions "winpup32" and that it can not be removed. I am assuming this is the cause for my problems. Also (related to this?) when I type in an address into the address bar I can NOT type in the "www" part. Doing so causes the computer to look in Documents and Setttings, and I get a "file not found error". Please help.

    First we need some system info and and OS. Make sure you are up to date with spyware reference lists, then disable system restore (if running WinMe or WinXP), the reboot in safe mode and run all the scanners now. If still having a problem check this info on winpup32:
