Someone help me please!!! I have a horrible case of spyware on this computer. Gateway diagnosed my browser (IE) freezing problems as spyware. No matter how many times I restore my homepage (to Saabnet, of course), spyware changes it. On the bottom info bar, I can see the script "installing components" when the effed up homepage opens (default. something.blahblahblah). I tried Ad-aware, which located "732(!) components" of spyware. However, Ad-aware freezes when I try to remove them. I also tried SpyHunter, Spykiller, and a coupla' other ones. They all freeze when trying to remove the 'ware. According to Gateway (who helped soooo much---not.), this is a result of the spyware. I scanned with Norton, no viruses were found.
Any recommendations?!?! I'm not a beginner at computer stuff, but this one is stumping me.
