Why do i still get adware from my homepage despite updating my virus software. How do i stop this?

Need for information. What kind of adware?

Hi Jimbo - sounds like you're still infected. Here's how to remove for good.... In order to successfully remove malware infections (viruses, spyware, adware etc) from your PC you need to follow a methodical approach as well as using effective (and free) tools. There’s a decent guide covering this that you can work through at My Slow PC http://www.MySlowPC.co.uk/ – click on the “Troubleshooting” link. Here’s my advice from it: 1.) Turn System Restore OFF so any infection that you remove is not restored. 2.) Scan with a combination of the best detection utilities as you’ll find different scanners can sometimes pick up different infections. E.g. * McAfee Stinger – a free stand-alone utility used to detect and remove specific viruses. * SpyBot Search & Destroy – a spyware/adware scanner * Lavasoft Adaware – for spyware/adware Note – it might be a good idea to disconnect your network connection once you’ve updated them with the latest virus/spyware definitions. This is due to the fact that often an infection is trying to spread over your network. 3.) If the above fails or you’re not sure if you’re still infected, when you start your PC tap the F8 key, select “Safe Mode” and repeat the scans once you’re connected. I hope the above helps, as mentioned the guide above is a lot more detailed and the My Slow PC site is pretty useful. Good luck!

Real adwares are pop-up ads you see when you install certain programs, if that's the case, just uninstall the program. If the adwares you meant here are certain pop-ups you get only when you go to certain sites (like Gunggo, Netflick, or similar), it's from the sites, don't blame your anti virus. But if your browser is being redirected every time you visit any site, you may get a trojan/virus.
