    Why do you think you have "spyware" on your computer?

    Any new browser extensions or startup items that need to be disabled/removed?

    Did you empty temporary internet files, restart the computer and run a “Quick Scan” with your antivirus program?

    You may want to scan with the Emsisoft Emergency Kit: https://blog.emsisoft.com/en/16796/how-to-find-and-clean-malware-infections-with-emsisoft-emergency-kit-2/  Other scanners that may help with this issue are listed in List of Malware Removal Tools

    AND/OR

    Note that you may need to reset your browsers.
