Beware of Greeks Bearing Gifts

My desktop computer has been officially infected with some sort of nasty. I get these fakey warning boxes popping up everywhere. The kind where I know if I click it, It's taking me to more virus-y websites. ALL the time. I'm hoping that it's failed to access "personal" information on my computer but it does make everything horribly slow and absolutely impossible to be effective. I can't even open up any browsers without being bombarded with utter CRAP.

I tried to instal AVG, free spyware remover junks, but my trojan has actually infected me so much the damn spyware taker outer can't be properly installed. Super lame. I've run like 3 -4 different kinds of scanners, no luck. I've tried manually deleting it, but believe me, I'm not THAT computer savvy. The guy even disabled my task manager somehow.

I can't very well reformat my computer mostly because I don't have all the discs or programs to do so. I'm considering just going out and buying fancy spyware, anti viral programs. But that'll be like 80 bucks. Which is 80 dollars I don't have. Too bad, so sad.

Let's hope I figure SOMETHING out.
