I have a big problem with my laptop as when the windows is started up and a
speicial icon appeared on the taskbar, the windows is converted to a dummy
otherwise its seems good.

I have a printed screen for that icon, but i don't know how to post it!!!???

at the last time i have installed a 3 antiviruse programs but no result, but
some times during the scaning the sysytem was stoped and a blue window (with
error message talking about new hardware or software not compatible).
 
first of all you should never have more than one anti-virus program running,
muiltiple anti-spyware programs are OK. Listing the error message would be
very helpful. Which was not compatible - hardware, software or both? You
have to be more specific if you want real help.

Not enough information to give you specific information but it's obvious to
me that you've picked up something nasty.

Go through these general malware removal steps systematically -

Include scanning with David Lipman's Multi_AV and follow instructions to do
all scans in Safe Mode. Please see the special Notes regarding using
Multi_AV in Vista.

Standard disclaimer: I can't see and test your computer myself, so these are
just suggestions based on many years of being a professional computer tech;
suggestions based on what you've written. You should not take my
suggestions as a definitive diagnosis. If you can't do the work yourself
(and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea), take the
machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local equivalent
of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad). Please be aware that not all local shops
are skilled at removing malware and even if they are, your computer may be
so infested that Windows will need to be clean-installed. If possible, have
all your data backed up before you take the machine into a shop.

Three antivirus programs? That could well be the reason for the slow down.

Installing more than one of the same kind of program (like AV) is likely to
be counter-productive.
