I'm going to try that Panda thing next.

U-bob's advice is safest but if you can't do that then it is what it is.
Try all of them Panda, Security Essentials, Malwarebytes, AVG. Try in both normal and safe mode (it can make a difference and it can help to do both as strange as it sounds) and when it looks like you got them all run another pass to be sure.
It also appears that this malware often tries to infect the disk controller to digitself in really deep.

Looks like they had some success here so you might try that approach
http://forums.techguy.org/virus-othe...ont-leave.html Basically you need to wipe out all places where the malware is hiding. Often these things infect a system in many different ways. If you don't get every last piece it will come right back. Check for bogus DNS and proxy entires too as described.
