OK here is what it is, I ran a spyware check and found about 800 spyware and I deleted them all but after doing that when I go onto the net my home page is the picture below and everytime I change it it goes back to that. When I try to put google.com in the address box a window comes up saying about spyware and telling me to download software, yeah I know its a load of ---- but it wont stop. As I was typing this out my comp just opened this quakespyware program to get rid of spyware but I just got rid of that spyware not long ago. Keeps coming up on task bar about risks, its gay, any help on geting rid of these? All im geting all the time is things telling me to download spyware stopers and stuff. arg. the anti spyware prog i used is CounterSpy and that was rated top on download.com but it didnt totaly get rid of these spyware. Help then?
Get windows defender and AVG, do a spyware/virus scan with those and they should get rid of any threats. Post when done.
Go to Add/Remove Programs. Remove anything saying Pest Trap, Malware Wipe or Spy Guard. Other variants may be: SpySheriff SpyTrooper SpywareNO!

Windows Defender, Adaware, Spybot Search and Destroy. Use all three of those. ALSO and this is very IMPORTANT. When running a scan for spyware, to remove it, make sure you are in safemode, with no network connection. Running a scan in normal windows makes it possible for the spyware, and even viruses to to just redownload themselves.
