The best and easiest way to remove this is by installing the Free Trial of Prevx1. This will scan your PC and remove this and any other infections free of charge.

Ultimately the solution to Windows being infected/hijacked by viruses, spyware, malware and adware etc is to change your operating system to Linux. Linux is immune to all these nasties, and is an industrial-strength operating system which is easy and fun to use.
I know it's a bit of a drastic solution, but it really is the answer for many people.
Here's a great easy-to-read (not geeky!) Acrobat PDF document about Linux to have a look at. It's only about 500k - quite quick to download:

Get antivirus as quickly as you can. One previous posting suggested prevyx. It's good. So are Avast and AVG, and they are all free. Personally, I've used Avast for 3 years and have not had a virus in that time. But get one of them, install and run it ASAP.

Then get SpyBot and Ad-Aware from download.com, install them, keep them up to date and run them daily. Spyware and ads are almost as big a problem as viruses these days, and it takes all of the protection you can get to keep your computer running.

Go to control panel.you might have to click category view on the tab on the left. then click performance and maintenance. on the tab on the left this time you will see system restore. Restore it to the date before you got the virus. If that doesn't work get mc'affe anti virus. Wouldn't recommend norton slows computer down!
