How do I remove spyware from my computer?

I received a virus last week. I have virus protection and it warned me that I had received a virus and I thought I had taken care not to release it, but obviously I was wrong. Anyhow, every time I try to launch my browser a new browser starts. It is "i-looking.com". I've gone thru and ran my virus protection and a virus was found and deleted. But it still preempts my browser and gives me a new toolbar. How do I get rid of this? And then if you would be kind enough to hack their server and totally mess them up, I would be glad to pay for it. I am really angry about this as you can see. Thanks for your help if you have any.
