The evil worm is slain (or so it appears so far).
I had to run the remover twice (I forgot to set the machine to safe mode the first time), but I got the sucker.
I also downloaded all the available security patches from Windows Update... while there was still time...
Tomorrow, I will get Norton AntiVirus, and an external CD-RW, so that I will have some beefier protection against this sort of nonsense, and some real back-up capacity.
I also downloaded DirectX9, in anticipation of Starfury...
