Ever get hijacked by these bogus rogue scamwares like "Vista home security 2012 antivirus" ???..or MyStart Incredibar . first dont ever share your computer...
i have found this one series of steps will always knock out homepage or other style hijacks...this one above was incredibly insidious, could not go to properties my computer etc.... so you can remove virtually all spywares, hijacks, scamwares etc...they look like microsoft updates ...they have the same icons , insignia etc ...
1. on start up hit F8 until "safe mode with networking " option surfaces on a black n white screen ...select that.enter... log on to your computer as normal...
2. in the Start menu on the bottom of the screen, "start search" window....type in "system restore" ...this picks a previous time period when the computer wasnt corrupted...this will unfuck the computer....follow its steps, and it will have reboot your computer and you will be free of the hijack software.....Obviously anytime any popup asks you to update and enter your credit card etc...WARNING...your being scammed..like i wrote above this series of instructions will knock out disable most if not all hijacks n scamwares...
my experience is you dont have to go to "command prompt" and enter code to unfuck your computer,i'm not a big spyware guy either, to me its just another computer vampire knocking out your computer and reporting back to bigbrother w what breakfast cereal you buy.... always interested to know folks ideas on outwitting the scammers....

Hiya. Spyware blaster is a pretty decent FREE product that simply blocks access to all those known and nasty little b*stards. You have to run a quick update each week.
Or, if they are already in or get by the spyware blaster, there is Spybot Search and Destroy. http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html. It's another freeware that you have to run manually. It searches for things that get into your computer.
So basically I now run three layers of protection - Spyware Blaster, Spybot & then the standard anti-virus.
