    Wicked virus that i can't cure. Please help!

    I have a virus that I can't seem to clean up with anything. The following are my symptoms:

    -Can't install new antivirus software (Spybot and Malwarebytes)
    -Can't access many websites
    -The computer as a whole is running considerably slower and programs tend to crash after a short time.
    -The website OEM-search.com keeps popping up (spyware/adware, duh)
    -Internet Explorer doesn't display pictures, even after fiddling with all the security settings.
    -I.E. and firefox refuse to work, and I can't install chrome, it just crashes upon opening the installer.
    -I have lots of startup problems and the computer runs best in safe mode, though it doesn't run well (still really slow, program crashes, can't install programs, etc)

    I would rather not reformat my computer because it is a pain, but if that is the only option then I will proceed with the reformat next week.

    Sorry but it sounds like it is to late for help and a reformat would be the way I would go.
