Do you have any Spyware Scanners/Protection?
If not, download a Spyware scanner such as Spyware Doctor or Spybot - Search & Destroy (just search them on the internet) and run a full system scan.

Did you print screen the "Quake" pop-up?
Otherwise, as Deadshot mentioned, download a free Spyware scanner (I recommend Spybot - Search and Destroy), download, do a full scan, then delete the spyware.

Well i have norton but that didn't seem to do anything, i'm running a scan now with it and if that doesn't work i'll download spybot. Don't know how this happened though, my bro only turned the pc on and it was just there. Also it's happend to others that my bro has been speaking to.

Obviously it won't do anything, not only is Norton sh!t, it's also primarily for Virus Protection.

yeah it found one thing and that didn't raelly do anything.
also as spyware quake opens up it is like an antivirus thing saying i have 15 pieces of spyware on a comp, however it isn't installed or anything and it can't be deleted. if i click it it says i need to enter a code and reg no.
pretty weird, looking for spybot now

I doubt it, just scan regularly.
And yes, just remove those entries.
