Couldn't have said it better myself.

I replaced my pads about 6 months ago and the brakes squeak like crazy and drives me nuts <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" />


Did you turn the rotors when you replaced the pads? Brake pads need a fresh surface for maximum braking effectiveness, and will work better even if your existing rotors are not grooved or uneven. Your previous pads may have glazed the rotor surface which can cause serious brake noise.

Another common cause of brake squealing is dust build-up. Take your garden hose and rinse your brakes liberally through the wheels when you are washing your vehicle - that may fix your squealing until the brake dust builds up again.
