I have been attacked by spyware. I'm usually very careful about these things but I don't know how it got on here.

It's so big that it's even blocked out my access to task manager, changed my desktop wall paper, and it's giving me "fake" pop-ups and notifications that my computer is under attack.

How should I fight this? should I simply follow Oris's spyware guide? or is there a better way?

Thanks.
 
Should I unplug my computer from internet or something? will the spyware cause any more harm like deleted files or open network etc.?

Which AV do you use?
 
Things seem to be better now. Task manager is working now. Desktop wallpaper is gone as well.

I didn't delete any of the things you told me to I just ran through your guide and ran all the things in that order.
