I recently started hearing pop up ads on my pc but i couldn't see them. I thought it was a virus so i used malwarebytes and what not to try to get rid of these invisible pop ups. After i deleted the "detected objects" my desktop icons wont save! Can anyone help?
No matter what i do, either its restart my comp or refresh my desktop, all my icons move to the left.
*Auto arrange is unchecked* Please help >.<

First thing first:
Download this Antivirus from Microsoft website: Microsoft Security Essentials - Free Antivirus for Windows (It's free)
Do a full scan!

It should clean up any issues your PC may be having.

Thanks for the tool ice, but unfortunately i have a problem with that as well. After i scan my comp and remove all the viruses i get a prompt saying i'm about to restart my comp to finish the removal, i click it, restart comp, then after everything loads up i get the same prompt again. Restart comp and there it is again. This happened to the point where i couldn't even open mozilla. I managed to uninstall it just before it was about to restart on me. >.< I think my laptop just hates me.

Start your computer safe mode and run the AV program I linked.
What AV are you currently using?

Anyways, give my option a try and see how it works, also disconnect the computer from the internet while scanning and try to restart without internet and see if this still occurs.

Ice, right now i'm not worried about the viruses, i just want to fix my desktop icon problem. I think i accidently deleted a file i needed. i just don't know what. After my icon problem is fixed i'll give your method a try. As of right now i have spybot for antivirus.
Spybot and Malwarebytes.
 
It is likely your virus problem = your icon problem. Just go into safe mode and run every piece of anti-virus software you have.
 
IF you're not a nerd, save yourself the time and reformat. That fixes everything except hardware problems.
 
Yep, viruses are nasty and I am thinking the virus is what is causing the icons to keep resetting.
Most likely a clean slate is in order for you to enjoy your pc experience again...
 
Yeah, you had some nasties on your comp. I agree with IcE and Water3. Running MSSE in safe mode should pick up any leftovers but you likely suffered registry changes from the nasties which would explain why your comp doesn't behave properly since you effectively removed them. Spybot is not an AV program and neither is malwarebytes. They're more specialized than AV software. If running MSSE in safe mode doesn't clear things up then you may need to go the hijackthis route to find/erradicate/repair the residuals from the nasties. It's a relatively involved process so if you're not up to the task then there's always Sprays solution unless your MBR has been affected or you have a rootkit. You can google each nasty to help determine what effects each may have had but that's time consuming and hit/miss. I have a good link somewhere for a reputable site for going the hijackthis. You may want to start here. But this is recommended for folks with relatively advanced computer knowledge.
 
I tried running anti virus in safe mode but it restarts my comp over and over again. it says windows has encountered an error and will restart in 1 minute even when i don't run a scan. when i do the scan doesn't even finish before my pc restarts.
