Does anybody have any experience with getting rid of this?
You reformat your computer.
It's pretty much the only way to eradicate anything. Once you compromised yourself, you don't know how much further it dug in. Even if you remove the original virus, you don't know what else it let in.
There is a reason why once you get a virus you are often plagued recurrently by something.
Its a pain, but I wouldn't want to type in bank info on a potentially compromised computer....
Nuke the HD from orbit.
It's the only way to be sure.
