Whats a good program to clean my browser?

I currently have



avg



adaware



spybot



spyguard



spyblaster



super anti spyware



ccdcleaner



(all free versions)



But i think i need something for my browser, when I go to download, they are not what I am trying to download. Sites I have downloaded just fine from before now give me viruses. Not all but at least 2 do now, which is 2 to many. If there is like a free trial version of something out there I can try that would probably fix this too, since the free version are pretty half ***.

CCleaner is the best program for cleaning web browser (and system) junk.



But what you have, from what it sounds like, is a hacked hosts file.



The hosts file is a list that maps hostnames to IP addresses. If someone hacks it, they can make it is so every time you type in yahoo.com you end up at pornspyware.com.



To look at your hosts file.



1. Open My Computer.



2. Find the hosts file:



The easiest way to find it is to do a file search for "hosts"



Here is where the hosts file is located in different versions of Windows



Windows 95 - C:windows



Windows 98 - C:\windows



Windows Me - C:\windows



Windows 2000 - C:windows\system32\drivers\etc



Windows XP - C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc



Windows NT - C:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc
