Hopefully my suggestion helps a little bit however my knowledge now with regards to removing spyware / viruses is some what out dated due to not using windows that much ( gave up on it a long time ago ) and now use OS X Leopard.
I apologise sincerely for posting links without correctly reading them.
wow!!!  now that I looked at them completely unacceptable.
I am quite shocked how managed to do that.
 I must have been out of my mind.
doing to many things on the home death in the family.
I really am sorry

I was amazed when doing a Query within the Microsoft site using their Virus Search and query for Spyware AND 360 to find so many results as shown here:

I also found this to be helpful on similar threats found on a friend's system with similar symptoms, and some potential workarounds and manual removal methods if the spyware removal tools have not yet helped.  Synopsis here, with source link below for more, if desired/needed.
Antivirus 360, which is a clone of Antivirus 2009, is another phony antivirus program. Don't confuse Antivirus 360 with the legitimate Norton Antivirus 360 product. Your PC usually gets infected with Antivirus 360 when you install a video codec that comes with a Trojan, malware or virus. You can also get infected with Antivirus 360 by visiting malicious websites. Once your PC is infected, your screen will be bombarded with security alert pop ups saying that your computer is infected. This scam tactic is done in order to try to trick you into buying the sham Antivirus 360 program.

P.S.  Sorry to hear of the sadness at home, Merete.
