Steps to help remove a virus:

Visit Microsoft Update and install the latest updates.

If you currently use antivirus software, visit the manufacturer's Web site, update your software, and then perform a thorough scan of your computer.

If you don't use antivirus software, subscribe to a service and scan your computer immediately.

AVAST 4 Home Edition Antivirus

It's crucial to keep your antivirus software current with the latest updates (usually called definition files) that help the tool identify and remove the latest threats.

In addition, not all antivirus tools are the same; if you find that the one you use isn't working to your satisfaction, you should do some research and try an alternative.

You can run some online (free) scans that will clean as well...

On the safer side, just switch to use Mozilla Firefox browser, imho, they are somehow safer.
