Download this and do this
malwarebytes anti-malware

in safe mode F8 run malwarebytes anti-malware and SUPERAntispyware,and what they find you
delete it manually. then run ccleaner to clean your pc, and mvregclean, to clean registry.
what mvregclean find you remove because the key is there but not the file ,folder or program.
even you reformat and it finds anything remove dont be afraid.
dont forget when you install this software to update them, and do an update every day
then restore until before you get infected.

that depends….get a BIG USB or a new hard drive and transfer all non infected files to it. Then wipe out your old hard drive,and then put everything that wasn’t infected back in. Or you can get AVG antivirus.
It depends on how long it’ll take. It already took over most of it, if it was there for more than an hour straight with the computer on, just that it is hiding lol =P
Check your system for a trojan called TDSSserv.sys which can prevent you from downloading and running security software.
start > run > type: devmgmt.msc > enter > view > show hidden devices > non-plug and play drivers > TDSSserv.sys > right click > disable > restart computer.
How to stop pop-ups and remove fake software, spyware, trojans and viruses:
Download, install, update and scan your computer with both Malwarebytes and SuperantiSpyware, delete anything they find, if this fails to completely remove the virus/spyware download then update Avast and run a boot scan (click schedule boot-time scan and restart your PC), all the software below is free and safe to use.

SuperantiSpyware: http://www.superantispyware.com/
Avast Anti-Virus: http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html
To protect your PC in the future you’ll need to install anti-virus software and a firewall, id recommend using Avast and Comodo Pro firewall both are very effective and completely free, you should also switch to Firefox 3 if you are browsing with IE as its much safer and a lot easier to use.

It all depends on what type of trojan you have. There are all different types of trojans and all take different lentghs to intergrate into your operating system.
btw. If it is TDSServ then it has approx 500 files to intergrate into your operating system. It’s technically classed as a Rootkit as it targets the root/center of your computer system. If you have had this on for 2 days then the only way to get rid of it is to format your hard drive. Unless you know how to delete the files manually and edit the registry keys.
