Hopefully, you are using a security suite (antivirus, firewall, antispyware) from a RELIABLE vendor (like mcafee, norton, etc).. if so, you must properly configure these programs and ensure they are automatically downloading their updates...
If you have one of these products you should close out of all running progams, turn off system restore, force an update, and then perform a complete system scan.. which will remove the problem... then reboot and turn system restore back on to create a clean restore point.
If you do not have suite from a reliable vendor.. now's the time to get it!
You can attempt a web based antivirus scan from http://housecall65.trendmicro.com
and if the payload is spyware Spybot S&D from http://www.safer-networking.org which is the vendors website ... might help you.
Good Luck!
