Ad-Aware can sometimes detect things Spybot can not.

Kaspersky Free Online Scan takes a long time to run, but should detect the problem. It will prompt you to download an add-on - it is safe. You will than download the database, than you can start the scan - make sure to select what you want it to scan. If it detects anything, do a google search of the results to make sure they are actually viruses/trojans/etc. Kaspersky is so sensitive it might return false-positives (something that is not actually a virus, but is said to be one).

Kaspersky can not fix the problem for you, only identifies the problem that most software can not. A google search might give you details on how to fix the virus detected by Kaspersky.

Panda ActiveScan with TruPrevent - another free online scan if your web browser does not support Kaspersky.

I would also recommend https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865 if you use Firefox, say goodbye to banner/pop up ads (what few would get through the included pop up blocker)

i ran ccleaner, and cleaned up 180mb that "disk cleanup" couldn't do. the uninstaller tool also took out some programs that "add/remove programs" couldn't perform.

this is gold!!!

Sounds like useless malware. If Spybot doesn't pick it up, or Adware then download AVG Rootkit, and run it. Rootkits are used to hide things like you're experiencing so anti-spyware/virus programs don't detect them.

I tried the CC cleaner. I think it cleaned a lot of old porno that I didn't use anymore. Thanks now the FBI doesn't have any evidence against me.

You'll have to convert it, I'm not sure if you can open .flv files in Flash. That would probably be the only way but otherwise looky here http://vixy.net/
