My Google search results almost immediately get hyjacked.

Marketing items get inserted into the top of my search results list.

You can watch as items initially in 1st, 2nd and 3rd place get
relegated to 4th, 5th and 6th position, respectively.

Not restricted to Google searches.

Anyone else seen this?

I've tried SpyBot, NoAdWare and SpyDoctor without any luck.

Not necessary if you've moved up to Windows XP SP2.

http://www.popuptest.com/ visit here and do all the tests with each pop up
blocker
i used to use the ie one but it's a fact that super add blocker works better.
does ie blocker filter out paid for ads from the likes of google ?
does it block flash ads ?
does it block DHTM/Fly-in ads ?
does it Block windows messenger ads ?
does it block web page dialogs ?
does it block pop up ads in firefox ?
i also noticed the ie blocker blocked "good popups" ie some download's and
web pages that tried to open another window, super add blocker does not.
so please visit http://www.popuptest.com/ and truthfully say which software
makes a better job of handling popups.
if anyone else wants to compare the two visit http://www.superadblocker.com
and post your coments
