Got hit by this sometime back - god its hard to get off your computer, first try & block it when it conects to the internet using your firewall i hope your using zonealarm, it uses a few names winantivirurpro - winantivirurpro2005 - winantivirurpro2006 & one called winsoft if i recall correctly.
secondly click tools on your internet explorer go to add-on & deactivate any add-on tool bars that you was not aware off.
then go to the link below & do a on line scan, keep doing scans until it states the computer is clean.
Good Luck your need it.

You first try to carryout system restore to a day previous to the day when there was no virus. You have to decide the date. The problem will be solved. Then,You insatll a standard antivirus soft ware such as Norton, AVG , Avast ( free antivirus software and Ad-aware, Ewido ( free spyware removers). You can download free softwares at
http://fixit.in/antivirus.html and http://fixit.in/spywareremover.html
After running the virus scan delete all temprory internet files including off line content and also unwanted files and temp. files. Finally, carryout a defragmentation . Your system will be back to the normal...!

You want to remove that ASAP. Its not a legit anti spyware remover.
Use the second and third scans to remove it.
All of these are ones that I personally use and all are free.
AVG Removes I-Worm/Stration · BackDoor.Generic3.GBB and .GBC · Worm/Generic.FX · Exploit.WMF

Spybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.

I hate cyber web Explorer! it extremely is why i choose for to propose utilising mozilla Firefox. it extremely is a stable browser, the final if there are any. AND it scans the flaws which you acquire immediately! And there are upload-ons in Forefox which could come upon if a internet site is finished of viruses or spyware and stuff.

Go for a System Restore NOW. Start/ Programs/ Accessories/ System Tools/ System Restore. A hint for later put a System Restore Short Cut on Your Desktop, way more vital than a lot that you might think of.

Can you get to the control panel? If so, go to add/remove programs and get rid of it. If this does not work, go to start, all programs, accessories, system tools, system restore and restore your system to a day before it got installed. Hope this helps.
