Win32.Keylogger.BXR

I picked up this nasty trojan horse through what I believe uTorrent. I haven't used uTorrent in awhile and I wasn't even downloading anything. Everything I do on the interent is completely legal and It wasn't like I was pirating software or anything. I usually go away from my computer and leave it on for awhile, and yesterday night I came back and some bullshit Windows Security menu came up saying that my computer was at risk. You can tell it wasn't legit Microsoft by the text and everything so I quickly hit Ctrl+Alt+Del and found that an application under "Project1" was running in the background. I traced the root directory to be in my System32 folder. Spybot Search and Destroy picked up a Windows Anti-Virus over-ride in the registry entries, and aswell as the Virus itself. I used my Firewall to detect incoming and outgoing connections and it turns out, that It seemed that my computer was infiltrated via a P2P sharing network under a blacklisted IP. I had no clue how this could happen but It did. I have learned my lesson now. No P2P file sharing system is safe, Even if you have a firewall. Like I said. I was just Idle, my computer wasn't running, downloading, or doing anything. I think that people should take my mistake of having these kind of P2P file sharing and thinking there "safe" and seriously think about the risk/benefit of having them on there PC.

I found some information on this virus here

*Also. I was very wary about browsing the internet for help with a keylogger currently on my computer. Do not log into any sites or submit personal data to any field.

Here is some info on keyloggers and the dangers and damage they can cause to your computer.

You probably know that you most likely had it before and it must have just now triggered (whenever it was timed to piss you off). Can you remove it?
