Answer 1

I think you have downloaded and your computer is infected with a rouge anti-spyware program called SpySheriff.  Spysheriff is a virus that infects your computer very badly, but makes you think it is actually helping to remove spyware.  Whatever you do, DON'T BUY THIS PROGRAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Google SpySheriff and use one of the removers to get it off of your system.

Answer 2

Your PC is infected with a smitfraud trojan. Go here to remove it free useing the smitfraud fix

Trend micro isnt going to remove it and neither is webroot.

Answer 3

Sounds like you downloaded an "Anit-virus/Anti-Spam" program and actually downloaded a virus. It happened to me. I had to take my computer to a repair place to have them go through and clean it out. They said it replicates quickly and basically infected everything.
