Kind of scary multitude of spy/malware :(

Hi, please forgive me as I am brand new at posting in this type of forum and sorted through a couple pages but didn't find exactly the right category possibly so if I did that wrong pleae forgive me

Anyhow, I will start by explaining what I did, what happened and what I have attempted. Also I would like to know how serious this actually is such as (am I being hacked?)

I went to a website I thought was trusted and it had a video at the top of the page and while sometimes I click on them they ask to be upgraded usually asking for $40 or more to upgrade and figured this was going to happen but would have actually just cancelled but for some odd reason I decided to try it anyway, and it may have asked for an upgrade of a media player or active X. Instead of asking if I want to purchase something or not, immidiately AVG center popped a window up saying a threat was detected which was not healable and I moved to virus vault.
Within 2-5 seconds after this, all of a sudden my CMD window popped up (dos?) and I kept seeing a message saying Access denied, Access dienied about 10-20 times in a row and then the window shut off. This really scared me since that is seems more internal.
My avg vault had a JS payme virus, a downloader small virus, a Sheur.akst as well as a byte verify virus which some may have been from before. But a new one was in there called Footer_07[1].html which I have never seen before.
Also since this was slowing my computer down, I tried to use windows task manager to get out of it. Well, it wouldn't let me saying "System administrator has deactivated task manager" I was able to find a download that cured that one problem completely luckily.
I also keep getting one of those fake antivirus things and this is called
"Trusted Antivirus" which I always hit cancel too since I know it to be fake. The irony is cute, since it is the furthest thing you can trust.
Another thing that happens is when I turn on the computer, most of the time I keep getting a window that wants to pop up from a site called Cookingluck.com although the rest of the address is long but I am sure the computer experts here know what the site is. I also sometimes get this sort of sound on my speakers from what sounds like it is a radio station just going but there is nothing on my computer screen to indicate a video, even when all IE windows are shut down it still keeps going. This also scares me bigtime as if some hacker is just having fun playing radiosations on my computer that I don't know about. My hope however is this is just another function of malware to only be a nuisance.
1 question I have is, is this hacking? Is my data safe? Ever since I saw that download, I haven't gone to a single website that I need an account number of password for just incase which is sort of annoying but better to be safe.

I tried the following things so far:
I ran AVG a few times but it doesn't fix it. I ran Adaware and killed a few problems but it isn't getting rid of this. An IT person from work suggested a rootkit finder. I downloaded what was the AVG version and it found 0 rootkits.
I attempted to run spybot search and destroy but as it opens, it just as quckly dissapears into them bottom of my screen nowhere to be seen which is odd in itself.
If I use mozilla firefox it seems like I can get to websites that I want to get to easier than on IE.
Well, I than tried both 15-30 day free trials of Macaffee and symantic 360.
The symantic seemed to have troulbe loading but I think I got it. Mcaffee said I had to get rid of all kinds of possible files from a huge list of ones it doesn't like and you have to search for and eliminate before dowloading it so I said "forget that"
I have run symantic for the past 48 hours and once I am on IE, it does seem to mostly prevent cookingluck to totally download itself but not 100%.
The main problem is the first thing on there (symantic) keeps giving a system error so I skip it and I did virus/spyware complete sweep but it keeps only fixing 1-2 of 4 problems. I ran the rest of it almost so far doing Temp internet file fixing, and all the other fantastic things this program does. However, none of this seems to have really totally fixed the problem.

I am seriously hoping someone can help me solve this whole problem without having to completely remove my entire hard disk and redo everything. I am computer savvy to a degree but this would be way to far a big task for me to feel comfortable with and will only use it as a totally very last resort.

So, is there any way to fix this. I perfer the easiest methods first, and get more comlicated only if neccessary
I also tried runing CW shredder which didn't do anything either by the way.
So someone please tell me how to solve this and also let me know how much danger I may or may not be in.
I even disconnected the internet for awhile today while running symantic. Oh yes, I just checke, on Symantic, it is "live update" that has the error as well as another screen that shows 5 diffrent areas of your computer that are safe. Well, the first one, PC security, is the only one showing not secure. Transaction security shows green, and the rest of the icons on that page are, just not the first one.

Sorry for the very long message but I want to have every possible detail of the problem to be known so that whoever helps me is aware of as much as possible to give me the best possible fix

I sincerely appreciate any help that can be given.

Thank you,
Mark
