Default Computer hell

right now, my computer has been hit...HARD, with spyware and junk like that. I am forever being hit with popups saying "click here to remove spyware" blah blah. also, my home page is constantly changed to some "about:blank". i have used: ad-aware, spy sweeper, spybot, and now spyware blaster but still cant seem to keep the popups away and cant get rid of the spyware. PLEASE post if you have any suggestions what to do. PLEASE!

I wouldn't be suprised if you found yourself a trojan. Try downloading Ewido Security Suite or A2, both are free trojan scanners. That would be a good start.
