Do you have access to another computer? Do you feel comfortable in taking the hard drive out and connecting to another computer?
See if you can DL Hijackthis, run it, save a log file and post it here. http://www.download.com/Trend-Micro-HijackThis/3000-8022_4-10227353.html

Also, do you have Spybot search and destroy or Adaware installed?

Write down the message that pops up and go to a clean machine and seach Google and Norton for the fix (then do it and expect a fight). Also don't stop at the first one, they tend to download others; last one I removed for a co-worker started as 1 but ended up 27 before it was done.

Turn your computer off when you are finished for the night. Don't leave it running while not trying to use fix it.
Here's a site to go to tomorrow to get some removal tools. http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/malware-removal/remove-vundo-virtumonde

Did you report the spammer? No need for him to get anyone else.

When you're tired of bleeping around, Malwarebytes, the CCleaner, both free downloads.

you could also try sprinkling 'essence of macintosh' over it. That usually takes care of those things

Alright Mule, since I just got nailed with Winfixer - thanks those stupid political posts.
I'll download ccleaner and give it a go... EDIT: Norton Corporate came up and isolated a file. Hopefully it has not fixed the problem.

Go into System Restore, and reset the OS back to the last restore point that occurred before you went to that site.

Might as well call in a witch doctor and burn incense. It works as well as ccleaner.

Sounds like you got hit by the recent Flash exploit, as talked about here: http://blogs.zdnet.com/security/?p=1733

The little bugger even disables Windows firewall...
 You can see one of the randomly named files running under TM.  Malwarebytes did find winfixer... Took only 45 minutes though   Malwarebytes did get rid of Winfixer, but not 100%. I still have to get rid of a blank icon in my system tray. Now, had I run the Vundo fix I had posted last night, I would have been up and running with in minutes, not 45 minutes. Ccleaner still sucks and does nothing. BTW, I started this at 3:30 and ended at about 5:10.
