....or spend a little time reading through here, where you will find hundreds
of posts outlining the procedures you need to undertake. All the good posts
will also reccommend that you take it to someone who genuinely knows what
they are doing, if you don't feel competent enough to tackle it yourself,
especially if you have data in the machine that you don't want to lose. If
there isn't such data present, FLATTEN IT and reinstall it from scratch !

As already suggested, it's probably wisest for you to have a skilled tech
look at your computer, as this isn't as simple as you may think (I say this
based on your phrasing in here). Note also that the best newsgroup for this
sort of thing is microsoft.public.security.homeusers.

So How Did I Get Infected Anyway?
For quite a few people it's by installing programs like Messenger Plus,
whose ads for malware don't identify the malware as such and try to convince
you that you owe it to the author. See also:

Don't ever do a "default" install of anything. Always choose Custom and see
what else is being carried along. Don't install any extras you're not sure
of.
