Another wonderful trick for getting rid of these things is booting from an Ubuntu LiveCD (assuming the BIOS has that set). Pop it in, run the OS and you can run antivirus from there. Unless it's got its claws in deeper than usual, it's not likely gonna notice that, and you should be able to get free access to the drive for backup&exorcism with out issue.
