Help Me!

So here's the thing. I don't know how I got these things, but I have them. According to my computer, I have spyware on my computer and possibly a virus or two. (I'm not so great at keeping up with security) Well all the programs I need to get rid of this stuff, I have to pay for. To do that I have to get to my online banking to transfer some money, but now I can't do that because of the intrusions on my computer. So I can't buy these programs to get rid of the stuff. I have Norton AntiVirus and Norton SystemWorks, but thats it. I have the antivirus doing a scan. I just don't know what to do. I live on this computer, so having it invaded is a big deal.

What should I do?

I'm letting it scan, but its going to take forever. I have a lot of files on this computer. Lets hope I can get this crap off the computer so I can continue using it normally.

and... getting proper security and stuff is part of being online with a PC (us Mac users aren't in the same situation) - kinda like brushing your teeth everyday or having your eyes examed... it's part of life.

you can buy the software at places like future shop and best buy as well

My grandfather set up all my security stuff, so I never knew how to use any of it. I'll be looking into new security stuff very soon to make sure I have full protection.
