Is there a computer software that can get rid of humming from single coil pickups while I'm playing?

It was probably the computer (or some other wireless device) that caused the humming in the first place. What you really need is to check under the hood of your strat and see if the body/pickguard has shielding.

Uhhh...no.

The hum is induced by the guitar pickups, and this is a hardware issue....so to speak. You can seek to mitigate it but in reality 60 Cycle hum will always be present in single coil pickups, even when well grounded and shielded.

The only way to get rid of hum is:
1. Play on position 2 and 4 (unless like one of my guitars you have CS69 pickups that don't have a revers wound and reversed polarized middle pickup).
2. Get humbuckers. Any pickup that is "noiseless" is a humbucker. Whether the design is side by side or stacked. If you get humbuckers, have them wired with a push pull pot so you can split the coils when you want a single coil type of sound. At least that would be my suggestion.
