I got some kind of hellish spyware, help me if you can, I beg you.

[noxious]

I don't know what it is, or how to get rid of it :( Basically any time I type in a URL in the bottom status bar of IE6 it shows http://ehttp.cc/? infront of every URL typed. So www.blynk.net becomes http://ehttp.cc/?www.blynk.net. In addition, sometimes it wont load a website (That you know exists, something as common as www.shacknews.com) and it goes to a wierd serach engine type page. As if this wasn't frustrating enough, the browser lags horribly. If I try to highlight text or scroll down a webpage it takes forever to do so and gets semi-unresponsive.

If you have any idea what is wrong or what I can do to fix it, please help me, I will worship you as a God. Well, something like that anyway.

Thanks,

Get spybot or adaware. Free downloads and they eliminate spyware. Then go into safe mode and delete all files that they could not delete. You should be fine then.

I have adaware. I used it and it didn't fix the problem.

Try SpyBot then. Search your computer files for any unusual folders that you swear weren't there the day before.

Make sure nothing has replaced your IEXPLORE.EXE with another copy as well. A lot of that crap is done by redirecting your shortcuts to IE to another copy of iexplore.exe somewhere which does various nasty things.

I suppose I'll try SpyBot then. I already disable all background applications that I have not specifically set to run and have already made sure that something running in the background was the cause of this, and it's not.

EDIT* SpyBot worked. Thanks for the suggestion guys :)

I grabbed it from download.com. Simply search for SpyBot it's first on the list.
