Why does Spybot Search and Destroy look so weird?

It looks a lot 'different' than many of the adware/spyware/internet security programs I have seen, including the free ones. When you do an 'update'...it wants you to pick from various weird servers that are all over the world, as to where your download updates are going to come from. What's up with that? Most of those sites, I have never heard of...some don't even look like legit sites. Does anybody else use SS%26D and see this stuff? I got it from CNet's download.com. Just wondering why this interface is so weird, and why it downloads all of this crap with a bunch of odd extensions that aren't like other virus/spyware/adware extensions most programs have. Why does this one look so...what's the word..."hacker-like" with a bunch of crap everywhere on it? When it's searching...at the bottom it states that it's running a 'bot check'; and scrolls through all of these hundreds of crazy extensions it downloaded from who knows where. Just wanted to know how 'normal' this actually is?

What did you search for?

I doubt there is anything on your computer. I'm guessing its what you typed in to Google.

Its just a glitch in google. Used originally to prevent hackers or bots from doing things. Ignore it. You probably typed something in that set it off.
seems like you might have a virus that is searching for something and Google isnt liking that..

OR

you are searching for something that virus programs usually search for..try something else to see if its the same message like search for "Pepsi" or "cheese"
First of all, it not virus infection symptom,

I've been on twice - it's your computer - probably has a virus run your virus scanner. Or go to http://www.f-secure.com and use their online scanner.

Yahoo and google links hijacked to webcry and porno sites when clicked from search engine?

Hi all,

The computer I am writing from is a working ambulance dispatch computer. The latest problem is the links from search enjines being redirected to webcry, and another site not affiliated with the search result link desired.

This is causing issues with the bosses thinking employees are cruising porno on the job. I am a supervisor and keep telling them that this is not nessesarilly the case as it does it automaticly, and my poor crews cant use a good tool for fear of a write up.

I am ok wit the computer and I have got AVG and Panda running the problem is restarting the computer as it is a busy machine and is needed to dispatch and track ambulance units and the log in process for this is sometimes too long. I have run hijack this and will post the log below, but I am gonna need as minimal reboots as possible.

So without further ado:

How can I make my SLOW computer a bit faster?

My computer is quite slow. I'd like to make it a bit faster if I can, as it is quite annoying, but I'm not sure how.

Its a Compaq, only 3 years old, with a 325 processor, 256 MB RAM, and 40 GB hard drive, however, about 2 years ago I had Geek Squad install some more memory - I forget how much. But it was a fair bit.

I don't have any unnecessary programs or games or anything. And I always save all my photos and Word documents onto SD disks so they don't take up any memory. I do have some music saved on my computer, but not a massive amount.

It's really slow when I want to do simple things like switch tabs on IE, open Start Menu, when it comes off screen saver etc. I do disk cleanups all the time and I defraged it not too long ago.

I shouldn't have any spyware or adware (I don't think?) as I have a good security program with virus %26 spyware protection, firewall and spam controls.

Is there anything (free) that I can do to speed it up a bit? Thanks for your help :)

Take the money that you would spend upgrading that computer and use it to buy a new computer. A 325 MHz processor is worthless with modern apps. They make cell phones with faster processors and more memory than your computer. You can get a perfectly acceptable web surfing e-mailing machine from Dell for like $300.

If no resolution through google then is there a web specific service or something that I could use to get cached webpages other then through google?

Were you using some sort of tool to do the initial search?

As for cached pages, there is the Wayback machine but it may not have all the pages you need.

Or, if you're looking at a site's home page, you can see thumbnails on places like Alexa or domainTools.
