OK... I went to adaware and went through the downloads. I ended up with something called Spyware Nuker on my desktop. I ran that scan it found something like 49 spyware components on my computer. Then what? It seems I have to pay to have them deleted from my computer. I thought it was free. What's going on???

BTW, I deleted my cookies, cleared my history and cleaned out my temp internet files. Alas, I reboot and the same garbage is back... only there's a different homepage from the other one!

Short of an exorcism, I don't know what else to do now. :brick
