Using a PC that has not been infected, go to http://www.trendmicro.com/download/dcs.asp and download the sysclean package (3MB in size). Then download the current pattern file - http://www.trendmicro.com/download/pattern.asp

Note that for the Trend Micro Sysclean Package to be effective, you must download and place the latest pattern file in the same folder as the Trend Micro Sysclean Package.

Run sysclean and you'll have a clean machine. Then purchase a copy of Trend Micro Internet Security Suite. You'll be glad you did.

What Antivirus Softwre are you using? In any ways you should always update you AV Definitions. I can see that the viruses you are encountering came from adwares/spywares. Do have an AV with Pop Up blocker since most often this Pop up's are the source of these viruses. You can Go to Symantec.com. Heres the url for the virus removal though it requires you to modify the registry so be extra careful: http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.opaserv.a.d.worm.html
