Hi icekewl,
-----------------------------------------------
Please Note Our Policy on the Use of P2P (Person to Person / Peer to Peer) file sharing programs
It is posted here: http://malwareremoval.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=491394#p491394
As a condition of receiving our help, I have included the P2P programs utorrent, BitComet, DAP, and Vuze in the removal instructions below, so we are not wasting our time.
If you have used these, you can be fairly confident this is a principal reason your computer is infected

It's really important, if you value your PC at all, to stay away from P2P file sharing programs, like utorrent, Bittorrent, Azureus, Limewire, Vuze, Shareaza, Bitlord.
Criminals have "planted" thousands upon thousands of infections in the "free" shared files. Some of the recent infections can turn your machine into a doorstop.

If you wish to continue with the P2P programs, just let me know and I will close this thread.
In that case, of course, you should have a complete imaging software setup to put your system back together whenever it trashes itself. With the present infections, that will be often.
