i still don t know how to get rid of it
can you put me on to a program that can delete it
the last time i had a spyware program i ended up having more problems and lost all my memory and had to reboot my whole system so im a bit worried about downloading the wrong thing , please help

You can try running this scan online http://www.spywareguide.com/txt_onlinescan.html
Then go to the trend micro scan in my signature and run that one.

I found that win86 have 3 files associated with it and they are all in the windows sytem directory. click on search in your windows and then delete the win86, win.86.sys and the win86.lgc in the appolog directory. good luck.
