Spyware invaded

[Guest]

I got tricked by spyware, and now having problems with my computer. They got me by claiming to be microsoft and asking if I wanted to stop pop up adds and spam, so naturally I said yes. I figured out it wasn't legit when a "hotbars" tool bar installed. I ran a spy sweep program, and went back to a restore point.

But now my uninstall program won't work, and everytime I open outlook an error message comes up.........."The add in C:\progra 1\Hotbar\bin\446 1.01\SBOLExt.dll could not be installed or loaded. This problem may be resolved by using detect and repair on Help. May be out of memory, out of system resources, or missing a .dll file"

Can some one please tell me how to get my computer back to normal, I would surely appreciate the help

Thanks

For the Outlook message, you can try going to Outlook > ? > Detect and
Repair. You may need the Office CD
