How can I get rid of this virus?

Question

I have a virus on my computer and I really want to get rid of it without having to take it to professionals. Basically there is a popup looking thing on my background that says my computer has been infected with Win32/Adware.virtumonde and then there is another on that says privacy remover. I think this is a virus and I really want to get rid of it. Also what is a INFCACHE.1?? Could that be the virus? Not sure if i should delete it or not. Please help me!

dont over react yet....that can be a false positive. if youre using avast and have another such as avg, avast can pick it up as a threatening file when it is not. im not sure why but is common. go to google and search win32 virus. youll find info.

Ok, I recommend backing up your important files on a disc, or memory drive, and then doing a system recovery.
