Thank you very much for reading this post. I'm sorry it was long, but since I don't know alot I put all the information I had. Help would be deeply appreciated.

Have you tried booting to safe mode? While starting the computer,continually tap the F8 key and choose safe mode
Then when in safe mode run your Anti-Virus Spyware scanners
Post back if you need more help" If at first you don't succeed, Please Post Back "
