AVG Free antivirus software from
http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/...nti-virus-free

When you install it, so far into the install choose custom install, and
remove the checkmark from email scanner.

Also get Free Spybot Search and Destroy, update and run to find most other
malware.

So How Did I Get Infected Anyway?
For quite a few people it's by installing Messenger Plus, whose ads for
malware don't identify the malware as such and try to convince you that you
owe it to the author. See also:

Don't ever do a "default" install of anything. Always choose Custom and see
what else is being carried along. Don't install any extras you're not sure
of.
