This is most likely the notorious Conficker Worm, a piece of malware of
such sophistication and flexibility that you're just ****ed.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conficker:

The origin of the name Conficker is thought to be a portmanteau of the
term "configure" with German word Ficker, which means "****er."

I recommend crushing your computer, liquidating your assets, contriving a
new identity, and moving overseas.

well, one of your suggestions will be a piece of cake. the other three are,
i fear, problematic.

Reminds me of a joke...

The airline stewardess comes around with the sundae cart and when she comes to a
little boy, she says, "How would you like some crushed nuts?"

"How would you like some smashed tits?," asks the little boy....

wayno(anybody know how much folks are getting for turnips nowadays?)

About a $1000 a subsidized ton...unfortunately, the Feds then get 80% of your
garden, assess a retroactive tax, tell your ag supplier they'll be repaid at 5.3
cents on the dollar, and fire you if you don't agree to merge with a French
turnip producer...IOW, if you think your computer has been, um, conficked, you
ain't seen nuthin' yet...

YFINO,
