I downloaded active x and now my computer says it is infected and needs
protection. Also the wallpaper changed to a blue screen with a warning sign on it. And i also tried using spybot search and destroy to get rid of it but it didn’t work. Please help.

Download the free version of Superantispyware. I use this program and will resolve your problem as this software finds nasty viruses and spyware and best of all does not conflict with your own antivirus. http://www.superantispyware.com Update and run and in depth scan. Free you must update daily on a manual basis or purchase and get auto. updates.

Everything I listed here is 100 percent free of charge. Sounds like your Infected bad. Follow my directions exactly:
1) First un-install your current Anti-virus Program now this may seem scary at first but it is vital.
2) Go to http://www.avast.com and download the home version
3) Update avast! and then run a boot time scan to detect any nastys that may have been hiding in memory.
===NOTE===
avast! I think is one of the best Anti-virus program there is. Other people may recommend AVG, but AVG has bad detection rates and a bad User Interface. If you have any question about Anti-virus programs or about anything feel free to e-mail me.
4) Go to http://www.ccleaner.com and download and run the tool
5) Next go to http://www.superantispyware.com/ and download SuperAntiSpyware, update it and run a scan.
===NOTE===
There are other anti-spyware applications out there like Spyware Doctor and Windows Defender, But Spy-ware Doctor has had a seedy past and Windows Defender has bad detection rates.
6) Now this my seem like it gets a bit redundant but it is vital to make sure your computer is clean.
7)Next run an online scan by going to http://www.google.com and then type in ***Bitdefender Online Scan*** minus the stars of course.
9) Now if you followed my instruction you should have a 100 percent clean computer
10) To prevent further infections make sure that you are using Mozilla Firefox ( http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/as )as your default web browser along side Mcafee Site Advisor for Firefox ( http://www.siteadvisor.com/download/ff.html )
Now I love getting e-mails so if you have a Question feel free to e-mail them to me! Sometimes it may be a day or two before I have time to answers them though.

alright what you need to turn off system restore right click on my computer then click properties click the tab that says system restore then turn it off after you do that run your computer in safe mode and when your in safe mode run a vrus scan after you do that go to my computer click Local Disk C: go to programs files find antivirus 2008 and delete the file after that restart you computer and that should fix it
Try downloading these
AVG free (great antivirus)
Windows Defender (great antispyware
