Inactive Malware Virus attack - advice appreciated

[uknortheast]

Hi - any help or advice appreciated.

Have a virus/worm/malware on my PC.

Appears to have arrived when I was looking at some bids from Peopleperhour.com, in particular some screenshots from an Indian bidder. I have recently changed ISP which I think left a weakness in my PC protection.

All of a sudden my progs closed down and a Windows Internet Security logo appeared on the taskbar, with several pop-ups. I was unable to run any more progs, including McAfee, or Task Manager etc. There was a relatively genuine-looking virus scan pop-up which had identified a few things that needed removing - however it wanted me to pay obv in order to get my card details. I disconnected the Internet, tried shutting down and restarting but this thing is v persistant!

Having found the files below, which all appeared along with three desktop logos (LG Cyberlink Power2Go, LG Cyberlink PowerBackup, and LG ODD Auto Firmware Update), I tried to -

1. Delete them (wouldn't as it said 'files were in use')
2. Shred them with McAfee file shredder (appeared to work and said 'some files are in use and will be deleted during restart, but then they reappeared).

The following are the files that appeared in C/Prog files/Windows

SckedLGU.txt 32kb
bootstat.DAT 2kb
wiaservc.txt 1kb
wiadebug.txt 3kb
O.txt 3kb
Lgfwup.config
windowsupdate.txt 1,876kb

There were two other files that arrived at the same time into my windows profile - I tried steps 1 and 2 with these but was prevented from deleting/shredding as 'the files are in use'.

Any advice appreciated
