Alright, I have sucsessfully removed the virus.

I was looking through my e-mail messages in my hotmail account (using Outlook Express), when I clicked on an e-mail called 'Av hemsida'. The download window appeared and went away very quickley. It didn't prompt me or anything, which was strange. I had already started searching for an onlien virus scanner, when Rach confirmed that it was a virus. The HouseCall virus scanner told me the name of it, and I managed to find a program to remove it on Norton.com:

If you have this virus, you must boot into Safe Mode before running the program (It won't take as long that way). To get into safe mode, you must restart your computer and press "F8" just before the Windows logo pops up.

On another note, do not send me any e-mails until I get a proper virus scanner. I won't touch Outlook Express until then.
