    When I start Internet explorer it now starts with a window other than my home page. It tells me I have spyware. I have ran adaware and got rid of all spyware, but still the same page comes up, I ran Norton, and still the same. My Mozilla browser has no problems, so I tryed to unistall Internet explorer, but keeps coming up with an error telling me the program is in use and can't be done, any ideas or help, pleeeze, I know, just use Mozilla....

    I fixed it, I updated the definitions on adaware then scanned, and it worked, thanks.
