How do you get rid of hijackers?

I noticing more and more hijackers lately. They seem to target more popular sites like eBay and Amazon. I've tried several spyware removers but can't seem to get rid of them. Anyone have a solution? Thanks.

What problems are you having? Did it change your homepage to a different search site?

What problems are you experiencing. You notice more hackers at large web sites but can't get rid of them where? Are you talking about your site or something? I'm sure you can secure as much as you want but even sites like M$ get pinged and fingered for info but they are secure enough to not let anyone in. Again exactly what are you experiencing?

Seem to have problems with eBay a lot. I'll click on one of their links and be redirected to www.adfarm or some such site trying to sell stuff. Or all use Google and click on a clink from a search result list and be redirected to another such site trying to sell something. It's a real annoyance. The people who propagate this **** should be put against a wall and machine gunned.

So you are having problems of being redirected to stupid sites that you don't want to goto? Definately run spybot and adaware to check for holes in your security.
