Hello everyone,

I'm a beginner in this kind of forum, and you could say i don't have a good understanding of computers.

So please bear that in mind, and forgive me in advance if i seem naïve and have difficulty understanding your responses. I'm so dumd i even posted this thread in the wrong forum : as you'll see i posted it in the forum Windows 98. Sorry about that

I have a major problem with my computer. I've picked up a very agressive spyware, and i can't get rid of it. It seems i'm not the first for i have read that some people on this site have already posted similar message for this problem. I've read them, and i must say i'm writing this because i did not understand the responses and solutions people gave. I'm very, very ignorant in computers : my passion is books, printed books. No chance of being infected by them.

Anyway, the main caracteristic of the spyware i caught is that it always changes de starting page of my browser (Internet explorer). No mather what i did, i can't undo the damage. I've run Northern Anti-virus, Spybot, Ad-aware, etc. It didn't work. I found a program that could apparently undo the problem, but i had to pay 39$ to get the full version... and i won't, since some of the members of this forum apparently found a way to undo the damage.

Could someone be gentle enough to explain to me, step by step, with a lot of precision since i'm so dumb with computers, how to get rid of this spyware?

Thanks in advance
