I'm sorry to hear that :(
I hope you can get a new computer soon, but maybe someone on the forum has an idea?

Er... I've heard of a nasty virus that does something similar to that. You essentially have to reconfigure your entire hard drive to get rid of it. And delete over 17 pages of data. Let's hope that's not what this is...

Eh. I googled it and it doesn't seem too bad. Definitely fixable. Not something you'd need to get a new computer over.
My first suggestion to get rid of it would be to download Avast and scan with that to see if that can fix the problem. It's a great anti-virus program.
If that fails just google the virus and one of the first links has some instructions to manually remove it.
If for whatever reason you are unable to that or it doesn't work, I would suggest that if you have an OS cd, format your hard drive and reinstall Windows (however this way you will lose everything saved on your computer).
I hope that helps you.

Just get a recovery disk from the manufacturer.

I've used Avast! antivirus/ scanner for a year now, and it gets rid of that kind of stuff.
Also, after scanning, immediately isolate ANY documents or programs that are uninfected. Send them to another computer, email them to yourself, whatever, then, if needed, format your hard drive, reinstall your OS, and retrieve those files.

Download Eraser, erase all files pertaining to it, run HijackThis!, get someone more skilled with computers than you to find the Antivirus 360 registry entries, delete the entries listed, run Spybot and AVG to take care of anything left over. Then set a new restore point so you don't resurrect it.
