Here are excellent free software that will remove your worm.
The best one is Superantispyware, then A2Squared Malware.
If you prefer not to pay and wish to have a free antivirus program download the free AOL Active Virus Shield, powered by Karpersky engine Russia.

Antispyware I use three. You can only use one antivirus program or you will have serious conflict with your system.
Superantispyware, known to find what all other anitspyware will miss. http://www.superantispyware.com
A2Squard Malware out of Austria. Download their free version and you will be protected from, rogue dialers, worms, malware, keyloggers, trace spyware and rouge cookies.

AdAware SE Personal out of Sweden. This antispyware company has been around since computers became commerical. In June of this year they will come out with a brand new version. Right now it is beta testing. Download their free home for personal use. http://www.lavasoft.com
All of these program I have listed for you use little or no resources.

Nobody can afford the Geek Squad.
You dont mention your antivirus program, the the one below is free, and works very well.
Pay attention to the part on Safe Mode and Restore Points
Download the programs linked below. Install them. Update them. Scan your pc with them, and do so weekly.
If you have System Restore turned on, the Restore files may be infected, and trying to reinfect your pc. I turn off that feature, reboot to delete the files, then turn it on after a full system scan with AVG.
Turning off System Restore.
(right-click My Computer, Properties, System Restore tab, check the box to turn off System Restore on all drives.)
Restart your PC, and hold down the F8 key.
When you see the Boot Menu appear (black screen white letters), choose SAFE MODE.
Run a FULL SYSTEM SCAN with AVG.
You an heal or quarentine anything found.
You can also run Spybot and AdAware while in Safe Mode. I suggest you do a full system scan. Get rid of anything they find.
To exit Safe Mode, just restart your PC normally.
AVG Antivirus - Free Antivirus Software
Ad-Aware - Free Antispyware Software
Spybot Search&Destroy - Free Antispyware/Antitrojan Software
One REALLY great feature of Spybot Search&Destroy, is its ability to help your PC block known spyware/hijacker sites. Just use the Immunize feature.
Hope this helps.
