Spyware protection that installs it's self in your computer and can not be removed is there a way?
this has happened with two diffrent programs they install themselves and can not be removed. The first was Malware Protecter and now there is another . It changed my background and screen saver and disabled that option on my display tab. Now my computer is severly screwed up and I can not get it off. I can't afford any actual spyware protection and I need help getting my computer running properly again. If you know what this is please help me out here.

- This is probably a virus. The best (and easiest) way to rid yourself of something like this (since you say you're really hosed), is to reformat the drives and re-install windows and your applications.

You either have to use some registry cleaner, or make reformat. In the latter case, there's no sense in runnign any scans because it's just a waste of time. Reformatting kills any malware.
