spybot cant fix my problem!need help please?

My computer has reg.changes that spybot s-d can't seem to repair.

I will be in the middle something and all of a sudden,a new window opens and takes me to sites such as "seekalicious-----adrevolver----etc.."so when I run spy,it cleans but on next startup the problem is right back.Thanks! P.S if it matters,a couple days ago,my intermet provider tracked down a guy that was "ghosting" my computer.Didn't really understand it but,they said the guy was in his house but,was able to make it appear that he was actually working from my computer.

Update:

whatever it is has the ability to turn off my pop up blocker!

    Someone installed a remote access trojan if that's the case. If he was able to gain remote access into your PC, there's no telling what else may be installed. If it were me, I'd back up my data, remove and reinstall Windows, and get some proper security - at least a linksys router that has a built-in firewall, anti-virus, anti-spyware, and anti-rootkit.

    Hmm...

    You might have a RAT (Remote Administration Tool\Remote Access Tool) in ur computer

    Try to remember the last program u downloaded and scan it with some Anti-virus besides SpyBot

    Also try to delete it, if that dont work then download some program that scans your registry for errors or for recent registry changes...

    From there you can try to fix your registry...

    :)

    Good Luck!!

    Probably virus. Run virus scanner then spybot and it should solve the problem
