Also, that might be what happened. I don't even know. I just clicked the download link, and suddenly Security Tool popped up.

So which should I download? All three?
MalwareBytes, Avira and RKill?

Also, what is JDownloader and Noscript?

Having too many anti-virus or anti-spyward programs at the same time will also make your computer system goes wrong, so you probably want to choose one, and if that one doesn't work, try another one.

rkill isn't actually an antivirus, its only purpose is to get everything stopped from running so that you can run an antivirus to kill the thing. So, if malwarebytes/avira/superantispyware/nod32/whatever else can kill it on their own, you don't need rkill.

jdownloader: an application that makes downloading from sites like megaupload a lot easier (and because it's a browser, it's not subject to the vulnerabilities of one)
noscript a firefox addon that stops sites from running things on your computer without your consent.

Run the portable one off a flashdrive first, then install and run malwarebytes. After both are done, delete what they find, restart back into safemode again, rerun both, then rinse and repeat till its dead for good.

Correct me if I'm wrong.
1) Download MalwareBytes Setup and SuperAntiSpyware (Portable) Setup on a flashdrive. (Using my dad's computer?)
2) Plug the flash-drive into my laptop, and download each.
3) Run each program and remove all spyware/viruses.
4) Repeat 3 until computer is cleaned?

Really?

Can anyone tell me which Virus Protect and which Spyware protection I should use? I'll only use 2. So which 2 are the best?

Yes, download them on your dads and put them on a flash. Then start your computer(infected) up in safe mode. Run the portable program, let it kill what it finds. Then install Malwarebytes, let it update, then run it and let it kill what it finds. Then restart your computer back into safemode(this stops all but essential system processes from starting), run both again, let them kill anything they find. Keep repeating that till everything is gone. If this doesnt work then you have a nasty virus that can replicate itself even in safe mode. You will need stronger tools and i suggest seeking help from a good anti virus forum where they have tools that can really screw up your system if not used right but they can absolutly destroy all traces of bad viruses.

Do you get anything to show? Like the very first start up screens that tell you to press F keys and stuff?

I kept turning it on/off using the power key.
It works now.

But it doesn't ask me if I want safe mode or etc.
It automatically starts up normally.

when you start it, keep pressing the F8 and F10 keys, im not sure which yours is but its usually one of those. It should bring up a menu where you can select what mode to boot into. Use the arrow keys and "Enter" to select safe mode.

Okay, Walbuls, which Spyware/Virus protections are the best?
Apparently, having too many will cause problems.

So I'm going to limit it to two.

http://freebies.about.com/od/computerfreebies/tp/best-free-antivirus.htm
This website has the top 9 virus/spyware protection software.

Malwarebytes isn't on there.

Also, I might do 3 softwares. Is that okay? Don't know what is best...

the 2 i list wont bother each other. Nod32 can be a pita, i wouldn't recommend it. Combo-Fix is a pretty good tool and wont interfere with the 2 i list. It can require more work to use though.

Dont use that list for anything. Half those are complete shit and the other half want to run your computer like its Alcatraz and not allow a dam thing to run without consent(which pisses me off to no end), but from that list, Comodo is the best IMO. Use its firewall and antispyware for a heavy duty setup. The tools i list above are for killing what you have. Not for preventing.(premium Superantispyware does have live watch which is amazing are preventing, its what i use, $20 for lifetime)

Go for "Hijackthis", Run the application and disable all suspicious processes you found in your PC / Notebook

Btw, i notices that your PC's got the bluescreen / having trouble with starting up, it didn't have to be caused by virus though.. Could be your OS registries were corrupted / hardware failure..

I suggest you go for a Deep System scans, run FixRegistry (if you have the application), and you might wanted to check / clean the inside of your driver just in case the RAM's / VGA got loose..
