I had accidently clicked the 'Do you want to block junk emails' ad, then my computer went crazy.

It changed my background, it messed up my setting and now pop ups are popping up like mad.

Everything is saying my computer is under spyware attack and I'm not a computer person, so I don't know how to get rid of it.

I'm freaking out because I have important files on my computer that I can't lose but because of the 'spyware attack' it won't let me load my files onto a CD.

Please explain what to do in a way that I can understand.

Oh, also, my computer isn't letting me download anything either so I can't do that.

Help? Please?

if it really is under spywear attack it means that whatever you clicked was a phony. It was proboably something which someone sent to you at after you clicked it the program loaded onto the button got onto your computer. To get rid of it you should try first doing a virus scan and then see where the virus is attacking.
