Nasty worm/virus has attacked the Walters' PC's

Well, we're not exactly sure what it is but it appears some sort of virus, worm or something has attacked the computers at casa de Walters! :(

I'm posting this from Blackberry because my laptop is toast at the moment, thanks to this damn thing. Rob and I both tried doing System Restores, which seemed to fix my sister's PC when hers got hosed... No luck on either one of ours. Rob is deep in "geek" mode trying to figure this out and with any luck he'll come through like the true Uber-Geek that he is. In the meantime I'll be chomping at the bit, not-so-patiently waiting to get my PC back to normal. :(

If you suddenly notice your PC locks up and the processor usage stays at 100% no matter what you do, you may have it too. We didn't even install anything or open any suspicious emails. I was just shopping at Amazon.com and WHAM! Don't think a firewall or anti-virus software will save ya either cause ours was no help on this one. Help!
