Try downloading Microsoft Defender or Spybot. I understand that these packages can be loaded free and should remove the malware. Be Careful and only download from tried and tested sites or you may end up picking up another maware.

This has been around since last Dec so all AV programs should recognize it and be able to remove it. The Malware writers hide parts of the programs in areas your AV programs can't scan unless they are opened. There is a procedure to use so everything gets scanned porperly. Go to this site and follow the procedure. Just use your Anti-Virus program instead of the Anti-Spy programs in the article.

You can also use an online scan at this site. If you don't have Java update 7, then go here and get it first.

Then go here and download this free program to work with your AV and AS programs and will help keep you from being infected. I use it and its great.

You can also download Microsofts free Windows Defender from the official Microsoft site.

The Windows firewall doesn't stop malware on your pc from dialling out. Either of these firewalls are free for personal use and stop unwanted incoming and outgoing traffic. You choose which programs are allowed to access the internet. They are both fairly easy to use and updated regularly.
