I downloaded something that may be Trojan spyware or virus?

I was looking for a new todder bed yesterday and clicked a link to what I thought was an online store. All these windows starting popping up saying "initiating download", and my computer downloaded them. There was no "cancel" button and the "X" close button was gray and wouldn't let me close these windows. Now I have windows popping up every 3 minutes or so telling me "Somebody's trying to attack your PC! Click here to download spyware remover for total protection" clicked the OK and I was brought to a website for downloading spyware removers. I didn't download it. Also, my homepage keeps being set to this same page whenever I restart my computer. I have Norton and got an alert that Trojan-something was attempting to access my computer and was blocked. I went and did a search for files and applications that were modified at the time this downloading occured, and found some titled Trojan. I tried to delete all the files and stuff for that time period....(more coming in a few minutes)

I believe that to be a variant of a smitfraud infection. The first tool of choice in removing smitfraud is the smitfraudfix, run in safe mode:

If the smitfraudfix doesn't remove it, I would then suggest Malwarebytes' RogueRemover:
