how do i get rid of this kind of virus

i really dont have any money at all to deal with my computer right now and im afraid of it getting so bad that i cant use it at all but anyways.....
a few minutes ago outta no where some thing popped up saying that i have 38 viruses but the thing that popped up wasnt from anything that i have in my computer and i have never seen it before. then my back ground changed itself, the start thing at the bottom of the screen went aweay and i keep getting all these warning things and i just spent almost 100 dollars not too long ago to get the stuff on my computer for this buit now its "expired"
my back ground says:

warning
youre in danger
your computer is infected with spyware
all you do with your computer is stored forever in your hard disk.
when you visit sites, send e-mails... all your actions are logged, and it is impossible to remove them with standard tools.
your data is sill available for forensics. and in some cases
FOR YOUR BOSS, YOUR FRIENDS, YOUR WIFE, YOUR CHILDREN.
Every site you or somebody even something like spyware, opened in your browsers, with all the images, and all the downloaded and maybe later removed movies or mp3 songs-
ARE STILL THERE and could break your life!


SECURE YOURSELF RIGHT NOW!
REMOVE ALL SPYWARE FROM YOUR PC!!



and i keep getting these virus pop ups from total security 2009 like every 30 seconds.
i kinda feel threatened.
what doesx this mean and how do i fix it?

How to manually remove Total Security 2009
Remove Total Security 2009, TotalSecurity 2009 removal

This involves some registry edit, I suggest if you are not familiar with or not comfortable with using the registry editor, see if you know someone who may be familiar with it and you feel comfortable

OK, first download and run this

Fix Task Manager. Windows System Recovery Tool | Task Manager Fix

This should give you access again and then try the above manual fix above for the 2009 malware

This is something a person on a different site did:

Step 1: Open up “My Computer” and Open up the “C” drive
Step 2: Open up the folder “Windows”
Step 3: Open up the folder “System 32″
Step 4: Scroll down to the file all the way on the bottom named “taskmgr”, simply right click and rename this file “iexplore” {{Notes i had a lot of trouble getting the process to scroll to that program as it kept freezing up–PERSERVERE! What I learned is that after about 30 minutes the whole darn rogue thing will basically get postal, larger and shut down the whole computer so you have to work fast. Also the Process Explorer- that downloads from sysinterals. www. sysinterntals.com is a really good idea- if you can trick into opening by catching it just as you boot up it will open a screen and after a minute or so you can delete that one number string which will TADA make it so you can launch some programs. I noticed internet explorer can open vs foxfire which can’t

and bam, open this baby up by double clicking it and your task manager will open up, and find the process that total security is running, its usually a number like 34854385.exe or something like that,{{{{NOTE AGAIN- it was actually a program name that included the word Security, and there were two of them, I shut them both down and was able to launch Spybot, AND update it.

WHEW this rogue is just TERRIBLE! this took me- seriously– 8 plus hours of learning and just kicking the cr*p out of it, restarting a million times and catching that Process Screen icon- once it actually deleted it but i found it in the trash and made it work again. just click that number and close it down. After that I’ve run Hijackthis {{Make sure you’ve got an updated kick butt program. The XoftSpySE will ask for payment once its captured. I already owned spybot . THANK YOU Anigma for the final key to the removal– getting task manager up and running by renaming it!

Remove Total Security 2009, TotalSecurity 2009 removal
