Default Spyware

I keep having spyware installed on my computer. I just
used SpyBot to get rid of a bunch, but I still have
something installed that keeps bringing up a "Prosearch"
everytime I start internet Explorer. Also, there is now
a new toolbar called "tons sect bin" that I can't get rid
of. Anyone have an idea?

I had the same thing happen to me. The program installed a toolbar on Internet Exp. and also redirected me everytime I went to Google or Yahoo. I went to the Prosearch Website and searched for a way to unistall the toolbar. I found a link, but at the same
time they installed more spyware. I had to run Spybot to have it removed. Adaware by Lavasoft is also a good program because it does a more comprehensive search.
