I have something on my computer that keeps popping up and saying I have a virus and I need to download this virus bursters or some other virus software, and now when I try to get on Internet Explorer,, instead of my comcast homepage, I get a page saying I have a virus, I need to get this software, etc. It says it is from comcast microsoft internet explorer, or microsoft internet explorer.
I have run Norton, Ad-Aware,and Spybot, and it is not getting rid of it.

Use these scans to get rid of all the junk.
All of these are ones that I personally use and all are free.
AVG Removes I-Worm/Stration · BackDoor.Generic3.GBB and .GBC · Worm/Generic.FX · Exploit.WMF

Spybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.

First. NORTON SUCKS SINCE 2003!!!!! and 2nd don't download it. It could be a trap from the virus. Download something else like Windows Defender from www.windows.com or AVG free edition. Something you know is trustworthy.

if you can get a browser to pop up go to http://housecall.trendmicro.com/
go through the steps to do the online virus scan at that website (note - it will ask you if you want to download a file - click yes - it needs that file so that it can check your computer)
good luck
