See, if you can restart in Safe Mode now, and run Superantispyware, following instructions in fink's post #2.

It looks like your on-board video problem.
Read here: http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;324764
If you follow the above steps, you'll end up with basic (default) video driver, so I'd try first reinstalling your chipset, and video driver (video driver may be included in chipset driver).
is that for me....that sounds very difficult...
cant access that site either.....
this is making feel sad......
Which site you can't access?
i cant access: http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;324764
i am being redirected still.....the avast isnt updating.....etc.,
We have a lot of issues here, so we have to try some workarounds, until the problem is solved.
First, I want you to try downloading, and installing Firefox: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/, and see if you're still redirected.
Secondly...
Go HERE and download reglooks.exe to your Desktop.
Doubleclick on it to run it.
You'll see following window:
