My computer was wrecked over the weekend by this virus. I paid someone to fix it [View all]

and he got me back on the internet. I then downloaded Superantispyware which I used to have and it found all sorts of crap on there including a Trojan.

But still now when I open a new tab I go to "Mystart by incredibar" and there is a search bar on the page and a moving slot type game on the page. I can't seem to get it out. I have checked with my Add-ons with Fire Fox and it is not listed there. I can't find anything listed in my program files. I just want it to open to a Google page.

Anyone know how I can kick them out and get google or nothing in?
