well i don't have much experience with virus's, however I would suggest reformatting if you don't have anything very important on your drive.

as for anti-virus and a firewall, AVG is a good free anti-virus program and windows has a firewall program built in, if you're using a router it should have one as well.

Don't use AVG there are much better free alternatives. AntiVir is the best, second is Avast. Either of those combined with ZoneAlarm firewall and your completely protected.

There are ways to remove the virus but your best option is just to reformat your computer. Its a fool proof way of 100% guarantee to remove the virus.
