googling for spam sites might have the reverse effect, and take you to real sites. good thinking.

a wise man once said to me: "if you reinstall everything make a small system-files partition of the harddisk, install all you need and make a backup with something like acronis-backup or so. if you mess up things again you have everything restored and running in 20-40 mins."
so i did and it paid off the very next day already...

well if you're on here, then you must have access to another computer, so download a copy of hijackthis run it on your infected computer and go to cybertechhelp.com
hijackthis will scan your registry and hard drive for any hijackers and provide a report which some geek on cybertechhelp will use to find the problem and give you instructions on how to remove it
that's if you can be bothered

ad-aware and/or spybot should be able to kill this.
but:
1) what os are you running? 2) what browser?

huh..
my guess is that it's some kind of script that redirects.
you could try this firefox add-on. see if it can identify and disable the script.
