Hi, I'm new to this forum.
I've been using spybot for the past couple of years, but about two weeks ago, it stopped running. I tried double clicking the icon from the file within Program Files, but its no different than trying to click the shortcut. I don't see any kind of activity in the processes when I try to run spybot. Strangely enough, everything else other than the main program works, including downloading updates, etc.
Please help? I know my computer is heavily infected, I went to some sites which I guess now had many bad links etc.
Also my homepage in firefox *just google.ca* is also infected, so... how do I start cleaning up?
Sorry if i was supposed to post this somewhere else, but I need to get my computer fixed as soon as possible.
Sorry and thanks.
