Greetings,

With IE 6 I have been getting some strange happens. When I search for a "keyword" in google and yahoo I first get the normal search results listed. Then a millisec later I get new results with site no where to be found for the past two years.

All have redirects to other sites. I have listed two below. This does not happen in Opera Browser. Do I have a virus? Has any one else seen this?

It goes from the sitetracker to Pivotal resources site?

You have spyware installed on your computer. Get rid of it.

I also saw this post [webmasterworld.com...]

It may be spyware but there must be millions of people who have this problem. What is the best spyware software?

AdAware is a free package that does a good job.

This must be a new one becuase I have used three different spy remover's including Yahoo new one and I have have the false searches coming up. I will try a few more but this is not fun.
