Hi Jake - First, you need to install the latest cumulative security patch
for IE which blocks the exploit that this worm uses:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downloads/critical/828750/default.asp

You can read more about it here:
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/pf/trojan.sinkin.html

There are removal directions here:

Or, AT YOUR OWN RISK, you can go here: http://www.jwdom.com/realphx.htm
Read the directions carefully, download the removal tool and run it as
directed there.
