Microsoft's anti-spyware product is Windows Defender, which aida has
already said didn't solve the problem.

Which could mean Defender is not as good as Spybot and Spybot *would* solve
it.

Hi

Last night a virus attack my PC while i'm online. First my internet
browser help box pops up, then it types letters into the search box.
Atterwards it rename my floopy drive and my second hdd. The hdd was
rename w.0w. My internet browser help box pops up again up to 30
windows, and it types w.0w in the search box. When i activate my
windows defender, it try to shut it off, by poping its helps box
nearly 50 times, and even try to change the scan settings. What kind
of virus is this? My maliciuos software removal scan and AVG anti
virus
scans turns out nothing. Please help me kill this virus.

This does not describe a virs but some type of spyware / malware. You
should get several spyware removal tools like SuperAnitSpyware and do
a complete scan / clean up.
