Google is giving friendly bug hunters an ego-boost.

Thank you for reporting, but there are still a trillion way we are being spammed out of our socks. Hi inconnu,
Well it is a pity really. Andl there are some ways of obfuscating, like “Lost in Google’s Crowd”: http://www.techweb.com/wire/security/192202583 As long as you stealth surf the other services of Google you are safe. The obfuscating of "Lost in…"can also be used for Yahoo etc. Well the same story we tell about Google re: Firefox can be told for Flock re: Yahoo.
Another thing that is endangering users are the spam-redirects, that are more and more being used by malware authors (read here: http://ha.ckers.org/blog/20060807/google-spam-redirects/ )

Along with what Polonus posted above, here is a link for a more basic cleaning of Windows and IE. This was written back in January 2006 and some thing may be a little different for IE7 … though I am sure if you think about it, you will be able to find the same results in IE7.
