Help! Nasty Bad Virus...

so Tokagemaru & I discovered that my 'puter is running so slowly and erratically due to a fiendish piece of malware that has slithered past all my blockers & the ComCast McAfee bugzapper. None of them can find or get rid of it... we found it in the task manager where it pretends to be one of my BOINC projects (SETI at home or the malaria control project) while using up a monstrous chunk of my cpu. It goes by: BD_5.09_windows_intelx86.exe

malariacontrol_5.45_windows_intelx86.exe

setiathome_5.15_windows_intelx86.exe

(if I shut one down it instantly pops up as one of the others). Haven't tried finding it in the registry yet.

We would welcome any advice... like where I can look it up to find removal instructions or whatever. T can almost certainly figure it out on his own but won't be able to make it back over here for a couple days... be nice if I could get it dealt with before then!
