It's crapware/spyware/adware so my guess is you've nabbed one of those browser hijacker 'addons' that returns shitty ad-ish results with your normal results.

Find out what the spyware/adware/hijacker it is and we'll help further.

Use this and

This to detect the spyware and remove it, if you hit a snag feel free to post back.

Peace

The ad aware link that you give shows that the program is not yet available for download.

And... shinobi ==== found some gator stuff --- removed it... but it hasnt stopped my search results problem. This is REALLY BOTHERING ME>.... I can't sleep / eat / work... knowing that my computer is being molested by this CRAP.

Please help...
