PC issue - Trojans

Not sure if this is the place to look, but I figured I'm already here so what the hell.

I keep getting a fake windows message about a system error, which after clicking the "suggested link" leads me to this http://www.defender2009.com/buy.php?a=111

Having done a little googling, it's pretty obvious this is some sort of Trojan embedded into my system registry and all that fancy stuff.

The problem is, I can't find a legitimate means of removing it...I get a lot of links to spyware/adware/malware removal programs, but I don't trust any of them. Norton's hasn't steered me wrong since I bought this machine in April (until now when my GF got Limewire on it, and subsequently a bunch of other undesirable stuff).

Machine is an HP DV2000 laptop, OS is Vista (yeah, I know NOW that it sucks donkey balls).


Any help would be appreciated; sorry for intruding on this forum if this isn't the place to look for such an answer.
