I really cannot advocate trying to "remove" this kind of virus.

The quickest and easiest solution is to back up DATA to disk, plug into a known virus free computer (I would suggest a friend with a Mac/Linux!) with a fully updated AV (if it's a Mac/Linux user, they will have to download and install said AV - but can do it with a trial version) to scan the data. Then reformat and re-install Windows. Do all Windows updates, download Microsoft Security Essentials and Firefox/Chrome, then install your updates.

Lastly re-add your data then do a full scan for viruses. You should be clean.
