Pcah,

Try running adaware in safemode odds are that the malware is running. I
don't believe that you keep getting it everytime you surf I believe that
adaware is unable to remove it because it is running. Go to safemode by
pressing f8 at startup and run adaware it should take care of it there.

I was told by the people that make ScanSpyware that SearchFast was a HP
entry and was not malware.
