my computer was infected with spyware, and I cant seem to get rid of it. I've tried everything like virus scans and it detected it, and i deleted it, but my computer is still infected. And I cannot go to a website and download an antispyware because it's blocked from the spyware virus..I'm stuck and dont know what to do! Help someone please? Thanks

And run a full scan
You may also want to have a look at your start up items by using msconfig.

Disable any you do not use.
After you reboot back to normal mode, down load and install ccleaner to fix any registry problems.

Wow, it could be a virus or spyway together. The easiest solution is to reformat the pc. If you manage to access the net, try updating your virus scanner or anti spyware. if all else fails you stll have to reformat. ALWAYS update your virus scanner and your anti spy program
