Ooh dam, Those viruses are hard to get rid of, trust me. I'm good with computers and that's the hardest virus i've come across.



Click start > All programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore

Now click on a date in time when you didn't have the virus and restore your computer.



If it didn't help, Reinstall your computer. There are lots of tutorials on google.
