What's a good anti-virus program to scan and remove? Need expert advice.?

I recently got a virus on my Dell laptop and here are several things that happen:

1. I've heard music playing through my speakers when there was no media player open. (doesn't happen much lately)

2. My wallpaper turns to a dark grey screen at startup then reappears a few seconds later with reduced quality (like bitmap to jpeg). Also the labels (or words under desktop icons) get highlighted in grey, and some of the icons themselves get highlighted as well.

3. Internet explorer keeps switching my privacy settings automatically to "accept all cookies" whenever I open a new window.

I have tried several scans with norton and avast antivirus programs both in regular and safe mode and have even done boot scans with avast and they have yet to fix the problems. Now my computer crashes in regular mode whenever I try to open a program. Can someone please help?

If Norton and AVG cannot help you then call your local parish priest and arrange an exorcism.

I don't know if you tried any of the anti-spyware programs. Nortons and Avast should of found most of those, but you might have to run a few others to try to resolve some of these issues.
