Here's what you should do.
1st, don't waste your time with AVG, spybot, ad aware, CA, spyhunter, or anything of the sort. Stay away from anything that is FREE when it comes to spyware and antivirus. There is a reason why they free. They are NOT good.
2nd, You need some of the best software out there. Norton Systemworks is very good. That's the only good software from Norton. I wouldn't recommend Norton Internet security, its not that great. Now the best software you should get is Spysweeper with Anti-virus, this software is too good and gets better everyday. It blocks over 170,600 threats. No other software can compete with that or come close for that matter. It catches everything. I've used them all and it is 2nd to none.
3rd, after you install and update the software, since its in your system you will have to turn off system restore and then go into safe mode and run the scan and eliminate the virus. then after removal, reboot and turn system restore back on.
4th, (Optional) I recommend a Firewall from Zone Alarm, their free version is so good. Or you can buy their Pro version, but the free version will do more than the job.
5th, any probs during or after you do all this, send me an e-mail.

Oh dear - it looks like you've found out the hard way just how insecure and badly designed Microsoft Windows is!
Before connecting a Microsoft Windows system to the internet, you must first take as many precautions as you can.
For now, you can use SUPERAntiSpyware
http://www.superantispyware.com/
FREE edition to clean up your infestation.
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

Well
A good tool I used to clean up and speed up my PC is CCleaner. You can download it for free here http://bit.ly/1sW1Ssl
It's the best software of its kind.
Bye

Windows Defender, One Care, Reload you computer if you have to.
I have a spare hard drive, in a case. It is my reboot. I clone it, and I can reload everything, encluding the update in 1 hour. Nothing else is faster.
