My computer got spyware/adware and my computer is running very slow? What should I do?

My computer just started getting a ton of ads and then it started running very slow… I have McAfee and the Spyware protection was turned off and I don’t know how, but it was. McAfee also removed several trojans and it said it couldn’t remove some… Please what should I do? I am using my Nintendo Wii to get on the internet since my computer is going so slow. Help would be very appreciated.

How can I stop adware from latching on to my computer every time I logon?

Ad.yield, adbrite, sitetracking, are attached to many Yahoo sites when browsing. Everytime I shut down I have to run ANTI-SPY ware to get rid of them. I tried to write them to stop but no success.

What is the best programs to get rid of spyware/adware?

When I run spybot: search and destroy, it finds these three threats:
trojan-downloader-zlob
virusburst fakealert
180search assistant/zango
When I boot up my coputer, there is this little “alert” with a flashing red circle with a line through it and a question mark ina circle. I know that it is fake because when I calick on it, it sends my to the SpywareLocked download site. Every once in a while, a system alert bubble will pop up also. I was wondering if anyone knows particularly how to get rid of these three nuisances? Thanks in advance.
