If you're having trouble updating virus/spyware stuff, it may be that you're infected with something. The new Conficker worm screws up DNS settings for various update services. Try Windows Update. If that fails as well, you're almost certainly infected with something. In which case, search around for removing Conficker.

You might have to temporarily turn off System Restore and use Spybot through safe mode. I had to do this a couple of weeks ago.

download hijack this, this will show list of everything installed on comp then if there is anything you dont recognise, google it.  also try adaware which i think finds more spyware than S&D, from download.com
