get a spyware program. mostly ad-aware or spy-bot search and destroy. just scan and remove.

or use your anti-viral programs to delete spyware/virus as well.

It could also be a trojan....

Using a virus scanner and refomatting may be your only option

What operating system are you running on your PC?

Do you receive a message saying that your computer will be shutdown in X amount of seconds?

If you're getting a message that windows needs to restart. It is the blaster virus, make sure you update windows, and before then use the XP firewall.
