    problem with spyware

    For the past week, everytime I goto a site, a search box pops up for www.searchforit.com.
    I've downloaded and purchased Spy Sweeper, and it said it found it and deleted it, but when I reboot, its still there. Anyone know how to effectively get rid of this? Also on searchforit.com they say they use Paycom. Does Paycom support sites that produce Spyware and infect peoples computers?
    what?!

      No, but I am not going to try anything unless it removes it. I've heard really really good things about Spy Sweeper, thats why I bought it. It said it found it and removed it but when I rebooted, it didnt, so I dont want to spend more money unless its going to be removed.
      what?!

          First try running adaware, spy bot search and destoy. If those don't work run hijack this. And you'll have to manually remove it.

              try starting your machine in safe mode before you run Spy Sweeper.
