Actually. I'm going to take the easiest route. I'm sending my laptop to a cafe-owner (close friend) of mine, he has a copy of Windows 7 Ultimate. I was either this, or to get Windows 7 ..I think it was either Basic or whatever from my uni (for free). I was going to install a bunch of things last night and let them run in Safe Mode though.
@Spidey: Tried to install MalwareBytes even IN safe mode, did not work. I installed Spybot, Spyware Doctor, etc, all worked. Except for my MalwareBytes downloads, which I tried from multiple sources. I didn't DL the one from sicnarf yet though. I figured, even if I did fix it with a spyware remover, I don't know where it's coming from, if it's really in my computer. My computer probably does have some security flaws. I originally had multiple passwords on my computer to protect it, as well as a really decent firewall before. But I system restored my computer a while ago, and ever since.. it got ..crappier? Everything went back to factory default settings, and now this happens. /rage
I'll just overwrite everything with Windows 7 Ultimate. I despise Vista with all of my hate anyways.
Also going to get a program from my friend that blocks scripts from all webpages. It'll instantly turn off unwanted advertisements and anything else, though some pages may look funky, I can change that be enabling scripts. This'll come in handy too. Once I Install Windows 7 on it, I'll do a complete revamp of my computer!
