I recently got a virus on my computer called the hompage hijaker. It is
changing my internet options and i can't set them back to my default
settings. It also allows pop ups for adware/spyware to come on my screen.
Mcafee does not remove it. What can I do?

Go through these malware removal steps systematically, doing all the
preparatory work:

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting
this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a professional
computer repair shop (not your local version of BigStoreUSA).
