Does anyone know if I reset my computer to a previous setting & then shred the temp files, will that get rid of any spyware that is on my computer? I ran a scan w/ 3 different softwares & none of them found it, but it was/is there. My home page was changed, my clock kept changing time, my computer was slow & when I opened a new page it would "jump" These problems seem to be fixed for now.
Also, if any one knows of any software packages that actually work, could you tell me? Especially for spyware. Thanks.

Malware Bytes is good and gets ride of spyware/malware. IT's free unless you want to pay so it will scan automatically.

 sunny Thank you. I went & downloaded Malware Bytes (the free version) & ran a scan & it didn't find anything, so maybe I got rid of it. My computer is running better now, so we'll see.
