Go to Symantec.com and run both FREE security scans. GO NOW.
Your computer is slow because virus is eating your hard drive. Your ONLY function now is to GET RID OF VIRUS. Norton (symantec) will either rid you of the pests or wall them off until you can get your computer protected.
Norton Antivirus is $40 or so a year, as is AVG both top rated AV utilities.
For AntiHack, I like Zone Alarm Pro, Adaware is also quite good. Read Tech mags like PC Mag, and PC World, and Tech Republic (all available online, just add .com to their names.
GO SCAN NOW. If prompted to download Active X say yes.
Chances are if you have that much virus you also have changes in registry, I recently bought Registry Mechanic and have had excellent results.
USE SEARCH ENGINES

Download free AntiVirus. My favourite is Avast for home or AVG Anti Virus.
If you just have pictures and documents, you may delete Windows directory (Windows or WinNT) and Program files directory. After that, re-install Windows, install AntiVirus, install Application softwares (picture viewer and office), and then install DeepFreeze or Windows Shared Computer Toolkit.
Your computer will run faster, and no virus can infects your system because your system will be restored every system boot (DeepFreeze can protect harddisk C from modification, and leave harddisk D unprotected for saving for images or documents).
If you think my suggestions are useful, please do rate mine as the best answer. Thank you.

If you have xp (i'm nt sure if otoher versions do this)
Press f8 during startup. Run safe mode. Scan viruses. Restart computer at an earlier time when you didn't have this many viruses.
Recovery!

if you go to Trendmicros website, antivirus.com they have a free online scan tool. Just click link below.
CNET.com allows you to download clean up tools for spyware. Which tools did you download. If you didn't already download AD-Aware and Spybot. Do the updates once you have them instaleld then scan your machine.
