My computer just slowed down to I peace of $hit then it changed my background image to I blue frame and a red window witch read you have spy ware ,spy ware is bad please use a program to get rid of it act.... it installed a program called spy doctor. I know that the hole thing was a big virus so I deleted that program ran spy sweeper,ad-awre, highjack-this and spybot search and destroy and after they all finished I restarted my computer and it was still there! Ah how I hated it I could not change my back ground image or use windows task manager I would press the three buttons but it didn’t work so what I did I deleted the windows user account saved my files and used the guest account and I didn’t have that back ground and I could use windows task manager but what I found was crazy the file svchost.exe was using 60-100 % of my cpu I know what type of file that is and I have never seen it do that’s before I don’t know how to fix it. its makes my computer run slow and ah it drives me crazy please help

Did you read any of the forum rules yet?

MSFN Forum Rules

XP Forum Rules

I know I must sound like a jerk pointing them out to you, but your post is very very difficult to read. Not only that, the title doesn't give any clue as to what the problem is. If you want people to help you, you need:

( a ) to make your title clear, and

( b ) your post easy enough to read that people can get the drift of what you're actually trying to say.

That being said, read through the XP Forum Rules. There are links to my troubleshooting guide and the Malware Prevention forum (it also deals with removal). You should be able to find the information you need to help remove whatever nasties are on your computer from there.
