    Ok on my tool bar at the bottom of my comp it keeps saying

    "You Computer is Infected"

    and then goes into details about how I should click on it and help install antispy wear for windows. Well the problem is now is that I click on it and nothing happens. Someone told me it was actually the virus doing this. Anyways right now I'm trying to get trend micro to work and I'm also running norton scan. Wat should I do?

    Definitely a virus or spyware, just scan your computer...have you got a firewall or anything to protect against viruses?

    Lol, sorry Equivalent...at least you gave links :-d

    Also, you might want to try:
    Firewall: zonealarm
    anti-Spyware: SpywareBlaster (not as a spyware remover, but a blocker) It stops spyware from reaching ur pc in the first place.
