Default brake problems

I replaced my brake pads and rotors 3 months ago and everytime i come to a complete stop it makes a squealing sound. it also makes a sound when i release the brake pedal from a complete stop... does anyone know how to fix this problem or what causes it? I think the sounds is coming from the front brakes...

Spray it brake cleaner first.. (cheapest way).. if doesn't work dap some grease on both end of the pad where it makes contact with the prong on the caliper.. and you might as well lay the pad on some sand paper, make a few scrub pass and reinstall.

they probably didnt apply any grease on the back of the pads which is what helps prevent squealing.
