Default Computer help needed

I was borwsing some torrent sites and some bitch *** spyware got on my computer, my internet browser is fucked up, I tried microsoft anti spyware and it only solves half my problems, I dont know how to get my internet browser back to normal, it tells me that it detects some Browser Hijacker.

Does anyone know how to delete this.

Also, I dont feel like formatting cuz i'll lose all my saved games in half life2 and Farcry, does anyone know where the save game files are located?

That's why you burn it onto a cd or dvd.

Get ad-aware and then get some other software like Macafee.

It should take care of most of it. Otherwise you could save your game files to CD and then re-format.

You dont need to reformat, get a program from download.com called Bazooka install that and run a scan it will pick it up and tell you the exact instructions on how to remove it and all other spyware and crap on your comp.

P.S Do ONE at a time.
