Default XP total security 2011

Anyone have any experience with this virus? After 5 hours I finally got my computer to the point of finally being moderately operable. It is still present on the computer though and redirects web searches to fake sites and has made my desktop disappear.

Thanks James. I finally got rid of it. It was the most devious malware I've ever seen. They literally thought of just about everything to make it impossible to get rid of. It made the task manager unusable and made any executable program simply reroute to itself to open more windows. Even when I was able to get the web browser up it redirected all websites to itself.

What antivirus/malware/etc software do you use? I use AVG Free, Spybot: Search and Destroy, and Malwarebytes, and I've never had any problems. I run CCleaner once in a while too.
