    I have superantispyware installed and it prompts me if I want to change my home page, it asks me at least once every 10 minutes, is anyone familiar with google custom search or why it keeps trying to change, my toolbar now has a google custom search in it. thanks

    You can remove the SUPERAntiSpyware "Protect home page from being changed "
    Open SUPERAntiSpyware > Preferences > Hi-Jack Protection > Protect Home page.." > Close > Close

    Doing the above you may also find out what home page SUPERAntiSpyware is exactly protecting (it may be different to what you want)

    There may be two different programs protecting different home pages (like your Firewall or something)
    Have you purchased SUPERAntiSpyware or are you using the free version?
    Have you also tried running a full updated scan? Id also recommend a Quick scan with Free updated Malwarebytes
