Oh dear - it looks like you've found out the hard way just how insecure Microsoft Windows is!
Before connecting a Microsoft Windows system to the internet, you must first take as many precaustions as you can.
For now, you can use SUPERAntiSpyware - http://www.superantispyware.com/
and AVG - http://free.grisoft.com/
But remember that even though you've cleaned this one out, Microsoft Windows is still vulnerable!
* Make sure you always run up-to-date anti-virus and anti-spyware programs.
* Always install all Microsoft security updates as soon as they come out.
* Ensure you have a properly configured firewall.
* Never use Internet Explorer (use Firefox instead) or MSN Messenger (Use GAIM or Trillian).
* Never download anything you don't understand.
* Never click on any ad banners.
* Never use any "P2P" file sharing programs.
* Consider the upgrade to Linux or Mac OS X to be free of adware / spyware / trojans
