Computer problems...calling all geeks and hackers...

My kids have been messing with the home PC and found a way to get over 150 malware and viruses downloaded in like 3 days.... disbelief I need some help people...anyone know what can be done here...?

Here is what I have...

1. Slow reaction of PC
2. Images won't load up on programs like Weatherbug and Real Message Center
3. I cannot see any avvies here
4. Internet Explorer pop ups show up all the time
5. I was running Norton 260 and it could not get rid of it...
6. I am running SpyBot and some other free antivirus software that got rid of a bunch of stuff..but I am still having the image issues with here and other programs...

Any ideas? pout

It has alot of users and the default time for update is the same, so everyone that owns it in your time zone and leaves their PC on will update at the same time, change the update time by half an hour and that should stop it geek
