sorry for the vague title...I've never posted here before, and I realize that I'm not providing nearly enough adequate information for anyone to really help and it's just a bunch of vague random information, so please let me know how to post the logs and whatever else.
I'm running the newest version of spybot (1.5.2.20) and it's fully updated and immunized. I get little balloons that show up in the bottom right-hand corner saying I need to run and full scan and "click here." my background has been changed to this, and I can't change it.

When I run spybot, I get these problems found: 180solutions.searchassistant, 2020Search, CoolWWWSearch.Leftovers, Microsoft.WindowsSecurityCenter.TaskManager, SecondThought.STCLoader, Smitfraud-C, and Zango
Even though it says it fixed all of them, the Task Manager is still unavailable when the microsoft.WSC.TM one is deleted.
Most are in the windows directory. Whenever I run a scan and fix the problems it says all the problems are fixed, but I still get balloons and popups of a fake windows security center saying I need to install spyware remover software. I can run a scan immediately after a previous scan and get the same problems even though it just said they were fixed.
There some system startup entries that were adware programs, namely two entries of ctfmon.exe. There were also 4-5 entries of "spybotdeleting," which I unchecked.
Also, I can't access my task manager, I get a popup saying that it's been disabled by the administrator.
While I'm running a scan of spybot, AVG pops up a few times with virus warnings.
I've run many scans in safe mode, and even then it doesn't fix anything, and the popups persist.
