In Task Manager, click on New Task, type in:
explorer
Click OK.
Let me know what happens.

Can you get into Safe Mode?
When your computer starts, keep tapping F8 key.

How do you know, you have some spyware?

Okay...That works now.Odd.
But,I still have alot of Virus.
And dont want anything like this to happan again.
Must of them seem to be Trojans like:
Trojan.Win32.VB.tg
Trojan-Clicker.HTML.IFrame.
Trojan-Proxy.Win32.Agent.kj
All I have now is Kaspersky.Any help would be great! =]

DLoad and install AVG Anti-Spyware...Free
If you don't already have them also add AdAware and Spybot Search and Destroy....also Free.
The above 2 won't handle trojans but are effective additions to your arsenal...

The threats out there take many forms so layered protection against specific types of malware is best.

This is why the trojans snuck in...Anti-Virus programs cannot always detect them.
AVG A/S should take care of that angle.

In that case, you have to uninstall/disable Kaspersky, because you can't run TWO antivirus programs at the same time.
Or, you can keep Kaspersky, and install a-squared: http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/free/
which will keep you protected from future trojans.

AVG A/S is not an Anti virus app...it's a trojan/malware scanner.
