Curious, but is your firewall on? You may be getting nuked with a trojan that implants viruses, so by the time you remove the virus new ones appear.

Or you could just try system restore if you have XP.

Yeah, i think ur right. there is this one called "Trojan downloader". LOL

I'm very computer illeterate so i don't know how to set up firewalls or how to do a full system restore. Help?

System restore will not delete the trojan but simply isolate it.

[vigelunt]

He has a point, trojans are internet based attacks.

So, ruling out system restore, we'll just move to the xp firewall.

Go to start> look for control panel> Network and Internet Connections> Windows Firewall> from there just make sure it is on. May want to check the exceptions tab just in case anything looks suspicious.

I'm going to sound totally retarded for saying this, but it looks like I have no choice....I can't find it. lol

I get to the Network and Interent Connections tab, but I can't find the "Windows Firewall" option. there's only:

Set up or change internet connection
Create a connectiong to the network on ur workplace
set up or change ur home or small office network

then there's...

Internet Options
Network connections

on the side there are other tabs, but non of them are it either. Help? lol

Network connections > then right click and do properties to your network (or each of them one by one if you don't know which it is) and click the advanced tab. Click settings and you should be able to turn it on and double check the exceptions tab.
