if you have the name do a search for a removal tool

thats a good start.

If your version of windows supports it, you can also try reinstalling the O/S in "repair" mode which doesn't uninstall any applications or wipe out any user data, it only refreshes all the core O/S components. Should be good for wiping out any windows primitives that have been infected. Still you should back up your data before messing around with anything like that just to be safe.

Burn your virus program to disk (if you dont have one) insert it and reboot.. most will allow you to run a scan before the OS boots
