I’ve tried all sorts of anti-spyware sites but none of them actually worked! I’ve tried Spybot, ad aware etc. I’ve researched almost all previous questions about this and tried the links that people suggested but still it didn’t help. I’m just wondering, will rebooting my comp get rid of it? If not, then I’m down to my last hope which is to just call a computer fixing person. Thanks
I have tried the Super anti Spyware and the Spybot S&D. I don't think it did too much except get rid of the popups that kept showing up saying I got viruses. My internet still goes slow and google doesn't work and now my comp screen shakes every 20 seconds. -_- I feel like I'll never get this fixed.. I'll try the threat one.
Thanks I'll try the website again.

Absolutely not. Before re-installin, install Spybot-Search&&Destroy, update its definitions and run a scan on your system. Spybot is a very effective spyware, adware and trojan remover. It scans them and removes them using its secure shredder, prohibiting their return. It is freeware and lite on your system. It also immunizes your system from future threats. It scans like over 1,00,000 infections.
I think that answers your question.

No, it won’t. As a last hope, try downloading NOD32 by eset. It’s a free trial for 30 days, but will kill just about anything, and you can always ask for help if you don’t know how to run it. But make sure to uninstall any other antivirus program you have before you install it. . And if you’re going to reboot, do it in safe mode, then run your spyware cleaners as I’m told spyware can’t run in safe mode. If you already have Spybot, then go in to advanced mode, click on startup items, and it will show you there if you have viruses which you should delete. Another free tool is Winpatrol. What antivirus program are you using? Avira Antivir personal is free and it’s awsome. I have had no problems since I started using it! I tried Avast, Avg, paid for Norton, Kaspersky, Pcillin, Webroot Spysweeper, and a bunch of others, but Avira works better. Plus, there are several free online scans for such. McAfee has one, Panda, and several others. Another good free tool Is McAfee site advisor, which will instantly warn you if you’re on a bad site.

Try a reliable virus scanner.
I use ESET. They make 2 products. One is for Anti-virus only called NOD32. The other includes the frills like Email scanning, Firewall, anti-malware, etc. It’s called ESET Smart Security Suite. It has a free 30 day trial available and is reasonably priced.
From what you describe, you need more protection than just a virus scanner alone provides.
AVAST and AVG also make some good products that are free.
Rebooting your system will never delete spyware, malware, or viruses.
