hey guys sorry to say i havent been on much due to this crazy virus i got on this computer, although i dont think that it is virus as much as it is spyware.... well i have all these crazy files like secure32.html and other files comming into my windows directory and /system32 directory. many files i deleted in safe mode and it has redirected my homepage, changed my background to something that said i have spyware click here to fix, it also had a "mock" icon of the windows security one saying my computer was infected with spyware.. ahh  arg 
any suggestions on how to beat this, which programs to use etc.. (freeware would be nice)
