aussiedge, go to the security and web part of this forum and read the top 6 stickies on how to remove trojans/cws/etc... and any other stickies that may look usefull, then post it here as a hjt.txt file.

in very short summary of those:
Remove uneccisary programs, INCLUDING P2P/Limewire software
update windows
update anti-virus/mal/ad/spyware software or if you dont download a few free/trail ones. suggested: AVG, Adaware, Spybot
reboot into safe mode (hit F8 while pc is booting)
run all your scanners, clean if found stuff
goto trendmicro's housecall/edwido/panda online and get a scan there
reboot.
Post HJT.TXT file here.

then:
download a good firewall prog eg: Zonealarm Free and/or get yourself a firewall hardware to stop tehm coming in to your pc.
dont go into any more dodgy sites nor download/install anything and everything you see on the page without thinking. nor use any p2p programs (if you previously do).. they're the most common places of warez tranfer/infection methods

but i still advise you to read them anyhow.

happy hunting.
