Default Brakes Squeak

I guess I'm posting this in the right forum...

Anyways, the brakes make a horrible squeaking sound when applied. I have a 01, with rear Drum brakes by the way. They do not Squeak at higher speeds such as 35mph+. However, when going around in parking lots (slwo speeds) when I go to stop the brakes make this horrible loud squeaking sound.

My dad knows somebody with a Pt Cruiser, and he says his squeaks because the drums get dirty. The solution is to take them apart and clean them off. However, after about 30 days the squeaking come comes back.

I could easily clean the brake drums, I've done a good amount of work on cars before, that'll be a easy job. However, I really do not want to try to fix something on my new car. I have this phobia of working on newer cars, I just don't like to mess with them.

Does anybody else have this problem? What is the solution?
