as a computer expert (not someone with an Uncle whos an expert), i can tell you this

Antivirus is good at preventing viruses. Once a virus gets in, antivirus may remove it, but the damage is already done. Spybot will NOT help, nor will removal of junk files.

Best bet? find any cds that came with yer computer and see if one of em contains windows XP, and reinstall the whole damn operating system. If you need help, i MAY be able to mail a disk that can do it for you, but I'll need proof that you own a legit copy of windows.
