I was faced with the same problem, only that the intensity of yours is higher. I had my screen gone blue indicating that Spyware has been detected in you computer. I immediately installed Avast Anti Virus and updated the data bank in it and ran a scan. It removed as many as 1200 viruses and spyware programs. So, try out Avast! Its quite good.
