Not familiar with this specific strain, but generally the best way to purge these things is to boot in safe mode, no network connection, and run AV/Spybot/AdAware/etc with the latest defs downloaded before going into safe mode.

Best anti-spyware program I've yet found: SuperAntiSpyware. It's "the shizzle," as kids say on the internets.

+1 one of the best out there. Never found anything that it misses that any other free antispyware picks up.

I must try that one out.

To avoid this kind of malware, use Firefox with the noscript and adblock add ons. Installing noscript means that none of that rubbish can actually run in the first place (well unless you download the .exe and run it that is).
