For the OP virus, I had this on a few boxes at my house. Pretty easy to get rid of actually.

Also for any other browser related mishaps check out HiJack This. It will list out a lots of items and typically something like a redirector or browser object will show.

1) Boot up in safe mode w networing
2) open internet explorer, goto tools, internet options, connections, Lan Settings at bottom. Ensure the "use proxy server" is unchecked. The virus will typically set it to 127.0.0.1 (which is your computer itself) This will re-enable your internet.
3) Run HiJack This, look in the O4 entries for a randomly named file (like C:\user\account\appdata\werasfsda.exe). It will tell you where its located, go find and delete. Then remove the O4 entry.
4) That should fix the problem, but as a good measure, run Malwarebytes in the user account folder (C:\user\ or C:\documents and settings\)

HiJack This and Malwarebytes are both pretty helpful and good stuff. Also, I recommend running Microsoft's Security Essentials as your antivirus. I just had a machine in here that had McAfee on it and as soon as I installed Essentials, Essentials starting detecting Trojans, McAfee just sat there.
