Stuck in a Loop

[Ypahihi]

OK, need to let you know that I am as bright as a blown light bulb when it comes to software problems.

I have purchased a new ultra book with Windows 8 and I downloaded Privitize VPN while attempting to access a torrent and have ended up with SweetIM in my system.

I have attempted to uninstall but it has left all sorts of Sweet IM crap in the system. I downloaded Spybot after trying to uninstall which is where things have gone south.

It appears that file remover is attempting to do it's thing but cannot and is stuck in a loop in that yes or no does nothing and the permission flashy window just keeps on looping.

To date I have run everything Spybot has to use, nil success with Task Manager, attempted to uninstall Spybot but cannot due to loop, shutdown or restart and nothing is working as it is still there after start up.

I can access some of the software on the ultra book but any time I need to go into the desktop environment the loop stops access.

I have read your sticky notes to download the registry restore point software but it does not mention windows 8 so I have not.

I await your help with great anticipation.
