Anyone know how I can get rid of this?

Yes use any of the spybegone products, But another thing you should do is.
Go to each of these folders
c:
c:\windows
c:\windows\system
c:\windows\system32\
right click in the folder and arrange icons by last modified then find out what is new in those folders.
you should find a few new html files as well as some new exe's
Now be carefull what you delete, but also be aware that most of these new trojans/hacks are installing smtp servers so you can be used as a proxy to send spam thru.
Also let us know what you find and post it here
also look in your hosts file c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts and see if anything new is in there
