How can I get rid of the AceBot virus?

Question

I have the AceBot virus on my computer. After googling for hours, I ended up downloading about fifty applications all promising to help with the AceBot virus BUT failing to mention that I had to pay money for the actual removal of it. Does anyone know of some free software out there for getting rid of the AceBot problem? I think this was a pretty widespread problem a little while ago. Thanks!
