Get the free versions of both. that ought to do it.
Why do people always ask for this AFTER they get a virus?
You can try downloading many virus programs that can kill most if not all. But not all of those work very well. What you can do is backup your data and delete all your hard drive including your OS and install the OS again and put the data back in.
I removed two of those today with (zone-alarm Internet security suite) It scan automatically without my knowledge, then showed me that the Trojan was quarantined so I deleted it, later it did it again, so I did too. zaps it every time, got it last month, and two months ago, and before that too. http://toggle.com/lv/group/view/kl26813/ZoneAlarm_Security_Suite.htm if you download and install it free from this link it’s free for 15 days so you can check it out, after that, if you don’t buy it, you can still keep the firewall free.

be careful of keyword loggers and backdoor trojans. They are especially nasty. Lots floating on those file sharing sites like irc and limewire.
If you are serious about completely removing spyware, malware and viruses then you want to stay away from free antispyware software because it truly isn’t as effective as people think.
Your best bet is Spyware Doctor. It is very highly regarding within the computer industry and has won several awards as well. I’ve used it for over two years now and I have been spyware free the entire time.
