Hmmm... nasty! And even though I think I'm protected, I'm not going there [img]smile.gif[/img]

When you run Spybot, go to the immunization tab and make sure you're immunized. You can also go there to lock down your IE start and other pages so if anything tries to change them, you get warned and have the ability to stop it before it happens.

I'd also suggest getting HiJack This, another piece of freeware. It does detailed registry analysis and can help you clean that out.

I'd also go into regedit and search for gigasearch (and any other relevant phrases from that URL). That will let you know where it's hiding in the registry.

I'd also look into my startup folder and make sure I know what's running at startup. HJT helps with this...

I'd then google for gigasearch and see if anyone's got a set of posted instructions for removing it. Hmmm... I don't seem to be able to find anything on it, but I've got to run. I'll check back in later.
