Trojan-Win.32 problems

First a disclaimer: I'm computer illiterate, so please talk to me like I'm a
neanderthal.

That being said, I've reviewed the posts from September 18th for this
spyware pop-up, but they aren't helping me. I cannot access the recommended
website to post my Hijack log. I don't know if the Trojan spyware is
preventing me from doing so or what. I could really use some step by step
assistance to walk me through this. If anyone could help me, I'd greatly
appreciate it.

In addition to the flashing yellow triangle and the pop-up System alert
warning, I also get a window trying to direct me to download spyware software
from "Windows". I am smart enough to know not to do so, but how do I get rid
of the pop-ups? I have AdAware, which is not detecting it. I've read things
telling me to manually delete the msmsg folders, but those look like
Microsoft messenger and system folders and I'm afraid to do so. This thing
appears to have deleted my homepage info as well.

Being that I'm a computer moron, would you recommend I go to a professional,
or is this something that I can do on my own?

Thanks in advance for your help!
