PLEASE READ TO THE END, I KNOW IT'S LONG BUT BEAR WITH ME? 
Yesterday my spyware (Symantec Antivirus) detected a trojan horse named lib.dll. The warning popped up several more times afterwards while I was on Facebook and Meebo. It appears to pop up everytime I open a webpage. I immediately deep scanned my computer first with Ad- Aware SE Professional but nothing came up so I scanned again with Symantec AntiVirus and it detected three trojans: "lib.dll," "_helper.dll," and "lib.dll" again. They were not able to be quarantined or deleted so I attempted to clean it. I then checked its properties to determine whether my actions had taken effect and it stated that "it was left alone" and that "no action was taken." I decided to do some research but as I was on the pages, more notifications about the virus continued to pop up and soon I had around 12. I found that I could safe boot my computer and scan it so I did exactly that and was only able to delete and quarantine one virus: "LIB.DLL." After deleting that virus, I opened up a search in My Computer for all lib.dll files and scanned everyone of them. Nothing was detected so I visited several websites to see if the Symantec notification would pop up, but nothing did. However, I am still worried that my computer is still infected because I was unable to do anything to the others and now I worry that the others are still attacking my computer.
About two days before, I would have random pop ups but most of them I exited before anything could happen. After that, it started to take a while to load Google (which has never happened before) and it was taking a long amount of time to clear browser history despite having only visited about two or three sites. Also, whenever I tried to shut down, "IEXPLORER.EXE" would have an "end program" window out which has never happened before. Finally, yesterday after scanning, I attempted to system restore to all the check points before my computer started acting strangely. I was unable to do that and I appeared to be recieving false windows error messages in which it stated something along the lines of, "A serious threat on your computer has been detected and it has been logged." At first I thought it was a real message and clicked "don't send error report" but it continued to pop up.
HELP! Has anyone experienced something like this? I'm really worried because I am not an expert on computers and I'm not sure if what was happening days earlier before the trojan was detected is just my computer being retarded.
I have a Windows XP.
Oh yeah, it appears to be located in C:\PROGRAM FILES\SHARED\. Thanks in advance
