Assuming you don't have any anti-virus program on your computer and that you don't want to pay to get one, you should use AVG to remove that virus. Download it from http://free.grisoft.com/

Try the following\n\nOnline scanners\nhttp://www.bitdefender.com/scan8/ie.html\nhttp://www.trendmicro.com/spyware-scan/\nhttp://www.f-secure.com/solutions/home.shtml\n\nFile assessment (useful for email attachments or for suspicious files)\nhttp://www.virustotal.com/en/indexf.html\n\nHijackThis (a good program for seeing what is running on your computer)\nhttp://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/htlogtutorial.html#r\n\nOnly other thing you can do is delete the virus manually, Start in safe mode, find the virus file, rename it. then once you restart you will be able to delete it.

It's best to scan with several virus/spyware programs. There's several online ones free that you can use. I like panda and bitdefender best because they've found the most viruses. Bitdefender is slower but supposedly high rated. Norton causes crashes on startup sometimes. AVG is a lemming that tells you where the virus is and doesnt really remove it. Adaware is best for removing spyware.\nhttp://www.jimmyr.com/security.php

Use these scans to remove it.\nSpybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org/\n\n\nhttp://superantispyware.com/\nSUPERAntiSpyware is the most thorough scanner on the market. Our Multi-Dimensional Scanning and Process Interrogation Technology will detect spyware that other products miss! SUPERAntiSpyware will remove ALL the Spyware, NOT just the easy ones!\nEasily remove over 100,000 pests such as SmitFraud, Vundo, WinFixer, SpyAxe, SpyFalcon, WinAntiVirus, AntiVermins and thousands more!\nMake sure after you download any of these, that you update them.\n\n *Be sure to come back to Yahoo Q&A and vote for one of the answers as best answer!

This program is spyware so you will need to start with adaware or something. It is best to run at least a couple of different spyware programs. Try Adaware, MS Antispyware, Spydoctor and Spysweeper are good to.
