I have been on several and some say I have alot of viruses and then I tried to repair them but another says I still have them. I can't use a antivirus CD as the player on the laptop is not working so I need to get them off somehow. HELP!!! I have been on several good ones I thought, AVG, Trend Micro, STOPbut still have them.

This is on another computer that belongs to my daughter, not the one I am using now.

Maybe you have spyware as well. This is different. It's worth a try.

What has happened is they leave residuals in the Registry that are self healing. Sometimes those are impossible to remove.
First try the Windows patch on this site to Restore the Registry to its DEFAULT state. http://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php
That will reset the Registry to its as shipped state for the computer. . Of course your computer already has a back up registry and I assume you know that you can go to Start, Programs, accesories, system, an system restore just in case this doesnt work for you.
If not, you are going to have to do a whole restore on your computer using the discs furnished with the computer. All discs not just the first 2. Sorry, thats how it is.

Did you try a real virus scanner insetad of a web-based one?
If they couldnot remove the virus, fuind out what the virus is called, and their may be a tool on the web to get rid of that specific virus.
Post the names of the viruses here and we can help.

Download an antivirus solution for a reputable place .
AVG from www.download.com keep it updated ,
dont beleive what it says on a website that you have viruses on your computer these mostly are scams to get money from you

I say go to cnet.com, download SPYBOT and install, after that, go to START, RUN, type msconfig then enter, go to BOOT.INI tab, click on the /safeboot, then restart, now when the computer restarts its in "safe mode" run spybot program a few times!!!! then go to start, run, msconfig, boot.ini tab then un-check the /safe boot then restart, that should help
also after all that make sure u update spybot every other day or so...I also recommend downloading microsoft windows malicious software, very useful tool...good luck!
