ok i have scanned wit spybot and it found 12 problems but when i try to fix it says i need to be administrator. i am the only user on my laptop so therefore am the admin. also says that some maybe in use in memory. any ideas? thank you for replying

When you run the program, instead of double click on the icon, right click on the icon and click "Run as administrator" and try it again.

ok that got rid of one but i get this message "some problems could not be fixed; The reason could be the associated files are still in use(in memory).This could be fixed after a restart. i restarted and it didn't sort it out. the one thing that is left to delete is something called "DoubleD" thank you again for your reply.

You may have to boot into safe mode to prevent the malware from starting up. You can do this Start>Run>msconfig and under the BOOT tab, check safeboot, and then minimal (if I remember correctly).

After the computer has finished booting, try removing the malware again.
