 Search bar and settings...
I've tried Spyware Blaster and Adaware and the lot of them... but there's this "Search Assisstant that no matter how many ways I try to get rid of it, it just doesn't go away.
Also, in an unrelated problem, whenever I adjust the Quick Launch bar on this computer, whenever I shut it off and on, the settings are back to what they were before, with Internet Explorer, Show Desktop, and AIM as the three Quick Launch icons. I always have to switch it to Avant, SD, AIM, MSN, and MSWord.
Anyone know what's up with all this?

You really should dump Avant for Firefox - its as susceptible to spyware as IE 
Have you updated the spyware definitions of Adaware to the latest? Also whats the URL this search assistant takes you to?
And I think your spyware problem is related to your quick launch bar: http://www.winxptutor.com/wsaremove.htm

Is it really? I noticed a bit of a decrease anyway with Avant... Firefox feels so.. empty.

Very much so; just got around to getting onto the computer today, Raz. Search Assistant gone, and in the process of getting rid of the malware for good; since I don't use it, I'll put Firefox on there. My sister's a maniacal downloader; finally convinced my parents to make her a limited user on XP

Okay, luckily didn't have the logging on/off problem. It looks like it's saving the settings, but now my sis jumped on and well, we'll find out tomorrow, probably

Beware with the Search Assistant thing, it has a habit of randomly coming back after you've gotten rid of it. I had to get rid of it 4 times; I think it's gone for good now though.

CWshredder, MSConfig, AdAware and the control panel can solve any spyware problems

I've got Adaware, and ever since I got it my spyware problems have vanished much much better than Spybot (which would always crash on me)
