Before worrying about downloading and running anti-spyware, you could try
this first to see if it works. Do a search on C:\ for file <Hosts> . I think
it's under <C:\Windows\System32>. Open this file (not Hosts.sam) using
Wordpad.
Insert entries <127.0.0.1 clicksearchclick.com> and underneath it,
<127.0.0.1 www.clicksearchclick.com> (without the brackets or underline).
Save the file.
Try running IE. This should block www.clicksearch.com, so you should end up
with 'page unavailable' as that page tries to open. Then try putting in
another website, eg google, in the address box, and see if it opens ok.
