So I got rid of most of the adware/trojan horse shit on my PC, but for some
reason, Google and Yahoo do not allow me to search the web.

For example, i entered the word "garbage" in Google and got:

Find garbage Using the FREE 2020 Search Toolbar!
Having trouble finding garbage? Get the 2020 Search toolbar and say
"good-bye" to those annoying pop-ups. Many other useful features such as:
text highlighter, multi-search engine, drag & drop, e-mail results and more!

Find garbage at SMARTpages.com - Online Yellow Pages
Find local business listings for garbage at SMARTpages.com, the online
yellow pages directory of SBC Communications. SMARTpages also offers city
guides, shopping guides, white pages and more.

garbage can be found at eZanga.com
Need more information on garbage, sit back and let us find it! We pull from
the some of the biggest search engines on the internet, so you don't have
too!

etc...etc....




Is there anything that can help? I'm running Spy Sweeper over and over, but
while all other issues are resolved, I have no clue how to rectify this
specific issue.
 
Seems to me that Ad-aware removes 2020 search bar when I used it earlier
today...
You have to make sure you tell Ad-aware to update it's database before
running it of course.
What did you use to "So I got rid of most of the adware/trojan horse shit on
my PC" ??
 
Didn't work!


DL'd adaware, got the latest version, Google still googled.
I tried a few free adware killers to stop this problem.

I feel I will never solve this issue.

Install, then immediately update and run, at least, the first four.

D/Ling the latest version is useless UNLESS you update it as soon as you
install it and BEFORE you run it.
