The best thing to do is reformat the computer. This wipes out all data, including Windows itself and gives you a fresh start. Make sure to back up all of your data before you do this. If you have a name-brand computer like a Dell then you should have a restore CD that makes the process easy. Just insert it and turn your computer on.

- Back up your critical data to a CD/DVD
- Delete all partitions on the hard drives
- Create and format new partitions
- Reinstall operating system
- Install virus, spyware, and adware protection
- Keep definitions for previous step updated frequently
- Download security updates for operating system from manufacturer's website and do so at least monthly
- Use the protection software to scan the backup data CD/DVD before moving any data back
- If you are not comfortable doing this type of work, find some experienced help

You don't even need a new computer, you dork. You just need to re-install Windows and get yourself some virus protection.

You need to run anti-virus:
Try norton's tool here: http://www.symantec.com/security_response/writeup.jsp?docid=2004-112210-3747-99
Try spybot http://www.spyware-bot-destroy.com/spybot.htm?OVRAW=spybot&OVKEY=spybot&OVMTC=standard
Try http://www.tenebril.com/downloads/
All of these take time but may fix your problem, without buying a new computer
