Spyware

[juan]

I recently started getting pop-ups about different types
of spyware loaded on my machine. I loaded ad-ware, and
spykiller, they both finds the spyware in my registry and
deletes it. However everytime i uses IE, i continuously
get a pop-up that states that my machine has contracted
some spyware, and my IE homepage is blank:blank, eveytime.
I use Netscape to see if the problem would still exits,
and everytime I logon I have to sun spykiller, and ad-ware
to detect and destroy the same spyware or webcrawlers on
my machine everytime. Please help me get rid of this
spyware junk.
