I have a horrible spyware infection W32.Trats!inf. I have Norton 360 virus protection & it detects it and it says I have to manually uninstall and it gives me the directions, I do it then Norton says it got rid of it successfully but then I have to restart and it always is still there. It uninstalled my AVG. Did something with my Norton so its not working again and I'm going to have to reinstall it and my system is the slowest its every been and I've cleaned out countless files. Superantispyware has been run (3 times) it got rid of alot of other spyware but not this.

Nortons is the cause of your PC being slow. Nortons is a hugh resource hog, viruses or no viruses.
Suggest that you go to this link and allow Trend Micro House Calls, to run direct from their server a complete scan for viruses and spyware. You only have to download an active "X" that is 100% safe. Follow the instructions, an allow the complete scan. Could take upto one hour. Well worth it as for sure it will find the virus or spyware and you can delete or destroy the virus, trace of a virus or spyware.
