Angry Viruses or Trojans or whast up?

One day it all happened when my BEFRS41 link sys router's lgihts blinking really fast and they recieve and send stuff really fast... i dunno why... i think its because of spyware and stuff? i ran adware and stinger and i got a firewall on my router... but i guessed something happened to it. My msn messenger closes and logons after every 30 seconds... i cant load into any games such as Warcraft 3, but i can load internet... and my downloads just stops all of a sudden. Please help thank you

Install Ad-aware and Spybot search and destroy from Here. Update them and then run them. Let them fix ANY problems they find.

keep us up to date with your progress.

When you try to delete them does spybot say that it can't be deleted because it's currently in use? If it is, go and delete it yourself. Make a mental note and delete it from the folder it's in, Or if it's in the registry, CAREFULLY Write the path down that spybot reported that it was in, and delete it. If you delete the wrong entry in the registry, that can mess up one of your programs or even windwos itself.

Also get antivirus software and keep that up to date. There is even free anti-virus software on the internet nowadays.
