Scrollbars only appear when they are needed in the browser.

Apparently IE6 has some weird bug where a horizontal scrollbar appears when it does not in other browsers. Horizontal scrollbars are to be avoided anyway.

What browser are you using?

Maybe you can write some javascript that'll take a look at the width of the browser window and adjust the width of your site accordingly.

You can force a page not to have scrollbars, but it is very annoying when a scrollbar is needed to see the page and it's not there. (Usually as the result of the designer assuming his audience has the same hugeass resolution as him, and setting the pages sizes as a fixed dimensions)

The best way to go about it (webstandard) is to use CSS
