I seem to have some type of mal-ware on my computer, and its fking with everything. I see virus scan advertisements where poeple's advatars are supposto be, pop-ups of virus scanners, ect.
Its starting to even become a problem with my desktop, hiding everything causing me to use the task manager to open stuff.
Webroot tries to quarantine, but the next day, theres nothing in the quarantine. Its all reset to the same settings to the day before. I also cannot delete most of the stuff because by the time i right click "read only" it clicks on it again.

Its causing me to be scared to go on anything, even logging onto my onrpg account.

Any help would be appriciated in removing the mal-ware. If you need information about my system, ill gladly give it to you. :(

Sup, Jubin. Remember me? :P

Your obviously gonna need some programs to remove it.

Use Ad-aware, or Spybot Search and Destroy.

HijackThis! is what you need. Download it, run it, and post the log here. We'll tell you what you need to remove.

It's also best running HijackThis! and the anti-virus programs in Safe mode, aswell.

Indeed. That's the best way to get things done.

Worse case scenario you MIGHT have to reformat if it fails, but that usually is a slim chance. It's best though to prepare for the worst and back up some of your most useful files to DVD discs or an external HDD if you can.
