I have like a billion viruses and trojans and I keep getting all these popups! It's got so bad I can't even start up my pc normally so I have to use safe mode! I've tried tons of different programs like Mcafee, Microsoft, avast, ewido, spybot but I still have the virus after "getting rid of it" about 100 times!!!! OMG STUPID POPUPS!

Is there a way I can like manually get rid of this even though I dont know the names of all the trojans/viruses? Please please help!

May be it will be better to re-format your HDD, re-install Windows and install an anti virus software to clear machine to protect itseft in future?

hmmm...,
there is HJT: http://www.tomcoyote.org/hjt/

where you can run and post log if errors persist,

try turning off system restore,
restart in safe mode,
scan with virus scanner, if any files cannot be deleted, manually remove to trash,

scan with ad-aware/anti spyware,

empty temp folder,
empty temporary internet files folder,
empty trash bin,
if files cannot be deleted cause of being in use, leave in trash and restart,

check msconfig ~ startup for any unwanted programs and disable,

advised to run firewall while online, and virus / spyware scanner more often...
