You've been given a number of good suggestions - but one you should ignore. Whatever you do, DON'T get Comodo firewall. If you think this spyware has screwed up your computer, you haven't seen anything to what Comodo can do to it. Seriously, you need anti-spyware. Ad-Aware and SpyBot and/or Spyware Blaster and they are all free from download.com.

run anti spyware scan and delete everything it finds. here are some free anti spyware downloads: http://www.2-spyware.com/compare2.php
check add/remove programs feature on your computer's control panel, maybe some of the malicious software appear there so you can delete them.

Do a system restore to a time before you downloaded the game.

Get Ad-Aware and CCleaner and run them.
Get Comodo Firewall and AVG (Free) Anti-Virus and run those also.
This should help.
