This Flippin PC

Can anyone help, everytime I log on to the internet I get this "Cool/Websearch" thing coming on as my internet page it makes my comp run really slow and the mouse is all over the shop. Ive tried running the "Adaware" programme I downloaded and it does pick it up .... it is a "CSS Hijack" (whatever one of those is) and then I can delete it but when I come back on the internet its Bl**dy there again and I have to go through the same process all over again. Its really getting on my nerves as it takes me ages to get on here.

look up sypbot search and destroy. It is probably the best spyware destroyer around. Then update your internet explorer to the latest version and patch it fully using windows update. Next set all your security settings to default.
