i think my computer system has been hijacked (im using the one at my school right now if ur wondering) my homepage has been changed, and it says there's a possibility that it was hijacked. i got rid of four viruses last night, over 100 things of adware, and over 200 things of spyware (and mind u, i run those programs every week, ive never had so many infections on it) and last night it STARTED to work ok, and then it stopped again. it freezes up and i cant open any programs, not even task manager, unless im in safe mode. i called best buy, they said to fix it is about 200 dollars. i dont have that extra money to spend. so wut can i do? or is my computer ruined?

I've experienced once downloading it, but it doesn't work but instead slows up my pc and often make my system crash. After i removed it, i get the true one and it said that the previously installed anti-spyware is also a spyware.
The name is like 'Spy-Sweeper', 'Ad-aware', etc..

Ok, this is gonna be long so stay with me.
Yesterday, I scanned my computer with Spyware Terminator and it detected 18 critical objects. While it was scanning, I had all programs closed and everythign was running super SLOW. I tried to remove them but Spyware Terminator told me I had to stop the System process, which I couldn't so I tried in Safe Mode and that wouldn't work. So I gave up. Now today, I turned on my computer, login screen was fine until my computer started going super slow. McAfee Privacy Service took a solid 7 minutes to pop up. Now, this is either due to Spyware/Virus or I have too many Anti Viruses on my computer (hrhr). By the way, McAfee, AVG and Avast! didn't detect what Spyware Terminator did. So if it is due to too many Anti Viruses, help me choose which to keep out of these:
-McAfee
-Avast!
-AVG
-Spyware Terminator (has virus scanner in it)
I also have a whole lot of AntiSpyware. I cleaned my comp with HiJack this and CCleaner the other day also...

If I wanted to know if someone was stalking me in cyberspace, how do I go about finding out without tipping them off? This is not someone who has access to my computer but would know how to hack in? Do I need a router to protect my IP address and what if it's too late?
