Ive been trying to protect it for a couple of days now and it wont change!! someone pleasee helllppp meeeee =)

Hello, ammmo:
Here is a link from Symantec with more information about this virus here.
In that link, you will a find a W32.Sober Removal Tool. Download/Run the removal tool. After running the removal tool, ensure that your Antivirus software has the latest detection files and run a full system scan from within safe mode.

How to start Windows in Safe mode.

I would also run an online scan with Trend Micro's online virus scanner.(in regular mode)

Please also read and follow the tutorial - Simple and easy ways to keep your computer safe and secure on the Internet

Hope that helps,
