Default Computer smart people, I need your help*virus problem!

I have looked through my entire computer and finally found this damn file that is causing me problems. Norton can't seem to do a damn thing about it either. I get this pop-up that says "Norton has found a virus" and I click "OK" and it comes right back. This happens like 5 times in a row. Well, I found this damn file and my stupid *** computer won't let me do a damn thing about it. I tried to delete it and it said "You cannot delete this file, you do not have permission to access this file" and ---- like that. WTF? This is my ------- computer bitch. I can do whatever the ---- I want. Well, I can't even open this damn file to see WTF it even is. It is attached to my start menu and won't go anywhere. Ever since this thing has been on here I have been getting pop-ups like crazy and those damn message pop-ups. I leave my modem on(cable modem) all night and I wake up and have to clear away like 10 of those message things and about 10 of those "Norton has found a virus but can't do ---- about it" things.

Also, today when I turned my computer on, the "Homepage" site was changed to some stupid *** "findwhatever" site. That really pisses me off. If I was to use these bastards service before, I certainly would have changed my mind after learning they hacked my computer. WTF are they thinking? I'm so pissed. I'm ready to delete every file on my computer and buy a new harddrive.
Anybody know what I can do? I can't get rid of this ******.

Yeah, I'm running XP. I just ran another scan. ------- Norton sucks. It quarentined 3 infections, but lft one to ---- up my computer. Why exactly am I paying to have this Norton crap in my computer?

I'm going to try to delete it in safe mode. I'll let you know if it works.

safe mode WITH command prompt. do it from the prompt. regular safe mode it might not let you delete it.

if all else fails. boot from a windows cd. goto command prompt. and delete it. NOTHING will be loaded then

Ok, I couldn't figure out how to go into safemode. I guess XP is different than 98 . I used Norton to scan again and that didn't help much. I found a file that was infected on my own because Norton is worthless. I found all kinds of adult chat and sex line files that were attached to different things. I'm so pissed. To top it all off, when I restarted the computer, my homepage was changed AGAIN!!!! Mother *******! I want this ---- gone. I want to destry the dumbass that is making this ----. What is the point? They sneak **** into my computer that is filled with viruses and ---- and they think that is going to make me want to sign up for a "Lifetime free membership"?

ok here is how you choose boot mode.

press F8 when it starts to load windows. if it doesn't work the first time. turn you comp off and press F8 a little earlier. F8 works will all versions of windows. with XP. choose safe mode with command prompt.

Damn, I'm back. I couldn't post topics for unknown mysterious reasons.

I logged into safemode and deleted that ---- manually with no problems. I also ran a scan while in safe mode after I deleted it and it came back clean. I think it's fixed. I hate hackers.
