Default HELP!!! this may sound stupid...

but i have no clue how to use an anti-virus program and i have a freaking virus on my computer. Not only do i have a virus...i have this stupid little message in my system tray that keeps comming out that says that i need to buy their software to fix my infected computer and i can't get it off. I downloaded AVG and ran a scan but for some reason that doesn't seem to help anything. It detected a few viruses and i healed them and sent them to the vault but for some reason my computer is still running slow and is acting like it's thinking and making all kinds of noise. It's bugging the crap out of me. I've never ran a virus program (stupid of me but i just never did) and now i can't get it off.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

Try downloading an anti-spyware program!!

Sound's like you have alot of Bot's running that is slowing thing's down.
