I just acidentaly downloaded one of those programs that tells you that you have spyware and WONT LEAVE YOU ALONE ABOUT IT! "download our software... DOWNLOAD OUR SOFTWARE OR YOU COMPUTER WILL NOT BE SAFE!!!!11!" I'v tryed my two spyware killing programs ("ad-aware" and "spy-bot search and destroy") but they have not gotten rid of it. What is good program to get rid of malware ect. That wont cost me 3 easy payments of 19.99?

Oh shit. I had to reformat and reinstall to get rid of that. There are some programs that can kill processes for you, if you Google on an uninfected computer, but it may not work for you.

i had a similar problem a while back.
everyone knows that spyware uses internet explorer addons (called BHOs) to infiltrate your desktop.
but less know that explorer.exe also loads BHOs as well. your malware might be BHOs that explorer.exe is loading.
anyway, get BHODemon 2 and it can help you identify and disable the files in question.

Remember to startup in safemode (F8) to maximize results.

Would help if you gave the title of the product this spyware/adware is forcing down your throat.

its probably webroot spysweeper
adaware and spybot are useless against those type of attacks
HijackThis - http://www.majorgeeks.com/download3155.html (the force deletion of files is great)
ewido antimalware - http://www.ewido.net/
TrojanHunter - http://www.misec.net/
are all tools that helped get rid of it.. along with manual deletion of files in /system32 and registry editng.. it may be easier to format your windows though
