Well I have this SpyCrush thing on my computer. I've tried to get it off but it won't leave me alone. Can anyone give me like something to get rid of it that's free and reliable? Thanks so very much everyone. Espcially to those people who helped me with viruses over the past few days.

Your computer has a Smitfraud infection.
Almost all "general purpose","all-in one" spyware and virus removal programs such as AVG, Norton, or Spybot S & D cannot remove it completely. A specialised removal tool is almost always needed.
I would use SmitFraudFix for WinXP, Win2K. It's free.
"This tool removes Desktop Hijack malware: AdwarePunisher, AdwareSheriff, AlphaCleaner, Antispyware Soldier, AntiVermeans, AntiVermins, AntiVerminser, AntivirusGolden, AVGold, BraveSentry, MalwareWipe, MalwareWiped, MalwaresWipeds, MalwareWipePro, MalwareWiper, PestCapture, PestTrap, PSGuard, quicknavigate.com, Registry Cleaner, Security iGuard, Smitfraud, SpyAxe, SpyCrush, SpyDown, SpyFalcon, SpyGuard, SpyHeal, SpyHeals, SpyLocked, SpyMarshal, SpySheriff, SpySoldier, Spyware Vanisher, Spyware Soft Stop, SpywareLocked, SpywareQuake, SpywareKnight, SpywareSheriff, SpywareStrike, Startsearches.net, TitanShield Antispyware, Trust Cleaner, UpdateSearches.com, Virtual Maid, VirusBlast, VirusBurst, Win32.puper, WinHound..."
It's a free tool from:

--------------------------------
BTW, This Smitfraud often gets installed when someone goes to view a video at a "not-so well-known" website. The website will say that a "special" codec is needed to view it, and asks to download it to you. If you allow the download, you will NOT be downloading a codec, you will actually download a trojan called Zlob. The moral is, never allow a website to download "stuff" unless it's a well known and respected site. And oh yeah, that video would have played just fine without that "special" codec! P2P downloads using programs such as Limewire have also been known to be infected with Smitfraud.
Good luck.

Alright, judging by the name its probably an Adware or Spyware.
U really need a strong Antispy + Antivirus. Ad-Aware is the best deal if u r looking for a free solution
download it from here

AOL Active Virus Shield is another excellent free product, firstly bcoz its based on Kaspersky Engines and secondly, it features an aggressive realtime scanner. Its one of those products thats as good as the paid ones available on the net.
