Spyware woes..

The other day while trying to close out about 30 popups, I accidentally clicked one. Needless to say, my computer is now infected with spyware. I have one of those search homepages and I can't get rid of it. Spybot isn't working for me with this one. I'm not much of a computer person. How can I fix this?

Get a new browser. Mozilla Firefox, or Avant are good. ALso clear cookies, history, and delete files. Finally get Adaware too, it works good with Spybot.

^^wont work, ive tryed all of those before, you need to get norton anti virus or mcafee, those will delete the search page and spyware, me and my frined had the same problem as you and i used norton anti virus and so did he and ive been search and spyware free

and yea you can also restore your comp....but that will delete alot of stuff

 I used mcafee, and i got a virus/spyware/whatever while it was suposedly protecting my computer. I tried to do a virus scan, and still no good. My spyware puts up a bogus searchpage, puts that searchpage in front of my normal pages when i click on something every now and then, and says that it is making some kinda plugin. It also creates a new connection all of the time and boots me off of the net. I have lost many HUGE posts because i was kicked off of the net. I'm gonna try to restart the computer completely if i have to. Im talking about making it just like it was when we bought it. I have tried deleting the programs that the spyware or whatever is coming from, but it just keeps creating that file again. I am in dire need of help so i don;t have to restart the whole computer!

i did too, it's because of all the crap kazaa put on my computer,
but try adaware if spybot and adaware don't get it nothing will (short of a reformat)

LOl porn does this stuff to your comps. Think of it as a lesson to you horny 13 year olds..lol

Alright, I ran adaware, deleted some stuff, cleared cookies, history..yeah..hope it works..And I swear, I wasn't looking at porn!! Lol.

Alluria software has a great software pop-up, spyware blocker  ,updates regularly ,  about 30 bucks . works for me , does the toolbar clean-up too ,. whole shooting match . and , He-He , shame on you for Soo many Prono pop-ups .

Avant and Firefox have pop up blockers, why waste 30 bucks on one. They just slow your comp down.
