My son's computer is constantly infected and it does some pretty weird stuff at times and then after after a thorough cleaning, it usually comes back normal (for a while until he downloads more freeware)

It's not a hijack in the typical sense. It's a microsoft hijack. Comcast is in it too. I use mozilla with built in google toolbar. I use Grisoft's AVG free for antivirus and adaware for spyware. I run spybot too for its immunize feature, but that proggy has kind of dropped off the radar. I also like ccleaner, and when the situation warrants-hijack this.
