I always run adware, spybot Search and destroy. I have spyware blaster on my pc, spyguard, norton antivirus, and I run CWS shredder, but my startpage always changes to searchweb2.com, a new search toolbar always comes up on IE, and a bunch of crap sites are added to my favorites list......

I think I have done most of the things to get rid of and prevent spyware...what else is missing?

Go into safe mode by pressing F8 while the computer is starting up and see if there is any problem there. If there isn't, then I suggest turning off EVERYTHING that isn't essential in the Startup tab in MsConfig. Kill the process and search your computer for the file that is creating the process. You might need to look on the internet for the exact file name. There are a ton of things I could suggest to you, but I'd rather not at the moment. Maybe if you E-mail me I can give some more advice. Bring lots of Spam with you!

You installed Messenger Plus! Default choices during install did this. Do not mess with it...go to the forum on Patchou's site and find his thread that has instructions for manual removal.
