Computer help needed asap !!!

[awsomeears]

For some odd reason my computer is either possesed or it has a Virus !!!

My Firewall is turned off and I manually can't turn it on.

" Due to and unidentified problem, Windows cannot display Windows Firewall Settings "

WTF ?

I keep running Adaware and that doesnt help.

I have a 3 yr old Emachines with WindowsXP, this computer never ever gave me a problem till yesterday.

Any help would be great :thumbsup

Did you run a scan on your computer with Anti Virus software?

Found your problem :thumbsup

But seriously, try 2 or 3 spy ware removing programs in a row, alot of the times they will pick up things the others wont. Then run a virus scan, if that doesnt help, check to see if you have any unusual processes running in the background.
