When I go to google/ask and type in my question all of my
results come back with types like search here or search
there to get more results. I have run adaware/avg/and
spybot search and destroy and all of thos have been
updated, but i still cannot get it off.....I have all
microsoft updates and my firewall is enabled. I have
checked and nothing bad is running in the background .

Parasite alert!

Most likely a CoolWebSearch attack. Get the CWShredder.exe tool to remove
it.

Clean your computer of all others.

This may be caused by a third-party program (adware, spyware, parasite).
Get AdAware and SpyBot and run them both. Keep them up to date.
