     I'd encountered some problems with my PC, the Internet Explorer
always get redirected to a page called http://merdeka.hebat.com when I try
to browse. I've tried to scan with Ad-aware and Spybot and nothing was
found, on top of that I've also do a full system scan with 3 antivirus
software and the out come also tell me that my system is clean from virus.
What I suspect here is somehow the spyware change my registry and redirect
me to the page. Can someone help me ??

Have you checked Browser Helper Objects, or the Registry keys that you suspect where changed?  Have you done a search 
of the Registry for "merdeka"?
