press ctrl-alt-del and reboot in "safemode" Then run your antivirus. Stop surfing pr0n sites as well.

AVG is a free anti-virus software which has always helped me out, or you could do a system restore to a point before the virus was there

We don't have a virus, the pc is just infected with nasty nasty spyware. Any one got any suggestions, have tryed Adaware and Windows washer. But after 15 mins the same screen seem to come back

Sounds like the same one we've got. We've spent the last 2 weeks trying to get rid of it. We have been assured that it isn't malicious, but at the moment there is no way to get rid of it. One of the software companies is working on a solution and have told us that they will get back to us when they have developed something. I'll let you know when they get back to us.

If your AV software brings up a name for the virus, it may be worth doing a search on google e.g. "remove ............. "

I've done this a few times and found successful solutions.

Try and download Spybot from website of same name, I find it manages to find far more than adaware. Worth a try.

If its the same problem we've got then unfortunately Spybot etc can locate it but cannot remove it. The little bugger just keeps on reappearing
