What should I do about my PC?

[Newgate]

My computer has had some viruses for a while. But Nothings been done about it yet. I live with my grandparents, and they take care of most things around the house. So Im not allowed to do any decision making on the computer. So I have these viruses. When i boot up my computer, A bunch of popups come up, one by one. They are the same ones every time, and they comec up in the same order everytime. They are mostley things like, XPA Antivirus 2008, Mcaffee secuirity center, Adware remover 2007, Myspace AIM, AIM, And window security alerts. At one time we had all of these things installled, But it says I have to purchase the licsense to do abything with them. Im wanting to be able to use the scan thing wear it finds all the viruses and delete them, and stuff like that, but I dont know what to do. So ive gotten tired of me having to wait an hour before I get all the popups gone and the Internet up, and Ive decided to do something about it. So can someone tell me what I should do to get all this Shit off my PC and have it running faster? Please. Tell me some steps on What to do.

Okay, any Antivirus that outright requires you to pay if you want to protect your computer, fuck them.

Go download Avast! antivirus, Spybot search and destroy, AVG if you want to. Whatever, the other NG'ers can help if they arn't fucktarded.

Clean your system then uninstall your previous anti whatevers, chances are they suck.

but im trying to do this without my granparents finding out. So it needs to be something simple. I dont want to do anything thats gonna result in me deleting a bunch of stuff off my computer, then having to reinstall them.

Oh and nobody try the " delete your System 32" Thing, cause im not that stupid.

I just felt like someone was gonna do that.

Pour white spirit on it, stand back & throw a lit match on it.

1) Improve grammar
2) Run an anti-virus program
3)Ctrl+alt+del, highlight all the pop-ups and hit "End Task."

ok, Ive done that. Then i restarted my pc like it said to. then when it came back up to the Windows screen, A little box comes up thats titled

System Configuration Utility
It says
You have used the Systemm Configuration Utility to make changes to the way Windows starts.

The System Configuration Utility is currently in Diagnostic or Selective Startup mode, causing this message to be displayed and the utility to run every time Windows starts.

Choose the Normal Startup mode on the General tab to start Windows normally and undo the changes you made using the System Configuration Utility

(then theres a little check box that says) Don't show this message or launch the System Configuration Utility when Windows starts.

What do I do? please im so freaking happy all the crap wont be taking up my time any more. Please What should i do know? !!!!

Format your drive, reinstall windows. should do the trick. you want to save all your shit first though on discs or something.
