I have around 100 viruse/adware/spyware type things on my computer. Normally, my security programs would take care of this, but now they seem to be attacking themselves instead of the software that I don't want! I tried installing Windows AntiVirus Pro 2006, but that keeps getting blocked by Symantec. When I temporarily disable Symantec, I can at least download the installer, but when I use it, it does NOTHING! What should I do?

You first try to carryout system restore to a day previous to the day when there was no virus or any problems. It may be a few weeks or months back. You have to decide the date. The problem will be solved. Then,You insatll a standard antivirus soft ware such as Norton, AVG , Avast ( free antivirus software and Ad-aware, Ewido ( free spyware removers). You can download free softwares at
http://fixit.in/antivirus.html and http://fixit.in/spywareremover.html
After running the virus scan delete all temprory internet files including off line content and also unwanted files and temp. files. Finally, carryout a defragmentation . Your system will be back to the normal...!

Boot the system up in safe mode and run virus and spy-ware scans. If you have system restore turned on make sure you turn it off(if you are using XP). That should help getting most of it cleaned out. You may need to do some registry cleaning but make sure you back up the registry first. If you are unsure of making registry changes definitely seek help from a pro.

Symantec sucks!!! - try this link: http://safety.live.com/site/en-us/default.htm
This should clean your computer of viruses, all spyware and a whole lot of other stuff you don't want or need.
Then go to www.download.com and search for Avast anti-virus HOME EDITION and download it. It's a free virus scanner and it works AWESOME. I think it even works better than all the other ones you have to buy and it always updates itself.

The first thing I would try is Microsoft Windows Defender. This is a free tool from Microsoft and I find it highly effective. You can find it here...

If this doesn't do the trick for you, then there are other tools that you will have to pay some small amount for that may work for you. All of these have free trial versions available. So you can download and test before you buy.
Here is a list.
