Finally got a computer virus!

OK, so after tons of web surfing, on line multiplayer gaming, downloads and probably screwing too much with my firewall settings, I've finally come down with a nasty virus. It is called dyflvxy.exe, and its in my C:\WINDOWS directory. I can not delete it because "someoene else is using the program". I can't adaware it away either. It is good enough to preserve itself, and prevent the complete downloading of virus scan software. Pretty creepy, really. It tries to connect with the internet about every 5 minutes or so. I used to have McAfee, and the old McAfee interface pops up and says so. I refuse access, but it just asks again. It looks like I need to reinstall the OS. Anyone have any PC virus experiences? I think I'm finally ready for a Mac.
