I'm a bit of a computer moron But my laptop has somehow gotten what I think is a Trojandownloader.xs virus and an abebot virus. I'm getting fake windows pop ups saying I am infected with spyware, etc... My desk top was changed. The fake windows pop ups take you to a website to download a program to 'fix it' but in reality it wants you to download another virus.

This has been going on for a week, and I'm getting worried. I've downloaded all sorts of programs and tried to fix it on my own. I've now decided that I need help!

I'm using windows xp, and generally use firefox, but do have IE on the computer. I paid for Norton when I bought the computer. Have downloaded AVG anti spyware 7.5 since this all started happening. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I attached a screen shot of one of the error messages that keep popping up.
