“Warning! Spyware detected on your computer! Install an antivirus or spyware remover to clean your computer” My screen no longer shows this but it is blue and nothing pops up. The only thing I can get to pop up is system manager and I have ran superantispywaresearch or whatever SAS and my trendmicro antivirus/antispyware, and spyhunter. Nothing has removed it and my computer is still affected. It is a brand new comp with windows vista. What should I do?

It is very likely a Smitfraud infection. Fake and phony 'warnings' to try and con you into purchasing a rogue software to 'fix' the problem.
It should actually be called extortion-ware. First they infect your computer and then they want money to 'cure' it.
All of these are specialised removal tools for this type of fake, rogue advertising of useless malware removal softwares. (Zlob/Smitfraud infections.).

Almost all "general purpose","all-in one" spyware and virus removal programs such as AVG Anti-virus, Norton, McAfee or Spybot S & D cannot remove it, as you have already found out.
