i did my spysweeper doesnt pick up on it

Spysweeper is only going to be looking for spyware. You need a virus scanner.

I recommend AVG, which is completely free and easy to use.
Click here to download it from thier homepage

It might not be able to repair your computer, but it could tell you what the name of the virus is. Once you know that, you can google the virus and be able to find fixes and information about the virus. At least this is what I do. If you're not comfortable doing that on your own, then it might be time to either call someone that knows how to do this or call a tech support company to fix it for you, such as Geek Squad.

Run a virus scan and find out what kind of virus it is.
