My work computer has spyware on it that I can’t get off. I have tried spybot, checked to make sure nothing suspicious is starting up with the pc, and cleaned out any application that might be causing spyware to install. None of this works and I am getting pissed off. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks, SR ---
