Previously we had a virus enter our computer but we caught it by getting Norton Anti-virus on our computer. There is one problem though. Our homepage is not coming up and there is a site for downloading spyware and the like checkers and blockers. Also when I try to go to some sites I never had a problem visiting before an error page comes up but it is a tiny bit different from the regular one that comes up. I know our computer still has a problem but I can't figure out how to get rid of it. I just did a full scan using the Norton software and it found a Trojan and a tracking cookie on the computer. The software says those problems have been eliminated now. What can I do to get my computer back to normal? I would like to be able to go where I need to do schoolwork and other things that I want. Please help!

It sounds like spyware to me. You could go to http://www.lavasoft.com and download a free home version of adaware se personal edition.
You could also get a free virus scan here:
http://www.trendmicro.com
There is also a free edition for avg antivirus here I think it is this site anyway. http://www.grisoft.com

I believe the spyware is not allowing me to access the lavasoft link adn trendmicro is not working either. Thank you for your suggestions though.

You could try starting your computer up in safe mode with networking and try it again.
