Virtumonde detected

[swany310]

Hi,

I seem to have downloaded a virus onto my PC and have tried to fix the problem myself, but with my limited knowledge of these things I have not gotten very far. When I run Spybot the threats detected are all under the name of virtumonde. As far as I can tell from reading online discussions on the topic I probably should not proceed too much farther on my own and was looking for some advice from a more experienced individual.

Thanks!

DO NOT have HijackThis fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.
