The streets of hell are lined with Adware

Calling all nerds, I need extreme computer help. To the MAX.

My computer is riddled with Adware. I mean, just covered in it. Every single program running is Adware. And the fact that I can't delete it makes me want to vomit. I currently own Norton Antivirus software, which I pretty much let it run by itself. But today I let it run through a scan, and it found 31 pieces off adware. 31! Okay, then delete it. But the software said it can't! I went to delete it manually, but I couldn't find any of the files! I went to their exact location, but it was as if they didn't exist. It's like the software burrowed and hid itself in my computer. So if anyone has some suggestions, like how to find the files or even some sort of super spyware software, that would be great. Just remember, I don't have a bajillion dollars on me and reformatting the hardrive is impossible because my CD-ROM is being crap. So, any help? Or do I need to call Constantine to expel all the adware demons out?

So, on a lighter note, I visited Endless Gaming to pick up a birthday present. The place itself looks a bit iffy, but I'd love to actually play a few rounds there. But I'm so much of a n00b, I'd rather be introduced to it by someone more experienced. So...any takers! ;D Or any takers willing to infiltrate the nerd base with me? Come on, maybe then we could actually beat the guys at Counter Strike?

Anyways, watching Robocop now. It's brining back nerd camp memories. <3
