I'm having problems with my computer at the moment. Every time I try to reset my homepage, it changes back to www.search-space.com. Other problems that have popped up include trouble opening links, inability to use my search command under start, general difficulty using internet explorer(I use mozilla for now, because IE doesnt work), and lots of freezing and programs stopping. I tried spybot s&d as well as adaware, and neither worked. Any advice?
