i just got the iworm virus on my computer and i need help getting rid of it! If someone could please tell me what to do, i have read the other posts but it seems as though each computer is different. THANKS :-)

Please post a Hijack This log so that the files associated with the virus/spyware/hijacker can be identified.
Please download HJTsetup.exe from this link http://www.thespykiller.co.uk/files/HJTsetup.exe to your desktop.
Doubleclick on the HJTsetup.exe icon on your desktop.
By default it will install to C:\Program Files\Hijack This.
Continue to click "next" in the setup dialogue boxes until you get to the "Select Addition Tasks" dialogue.
Put a check by "Create a desktop icon" then click "Next" again.
Continue to follow the rest of the prompts from there.
At the final dialogue box click "Finish" and it will launch Hijack This.
Click on the "Do a system scan and save a logfile" button. It will scan and the log should open in notepad.
Click on "Edit > Select All" then click on "Edit > Copy" to copy the entire contents of the log and post it in this thread.Do not fix anything yet unless you know what you are doing. This is a powerful tool that can crash the computer if used improperly.

It's a worm, not spyware.
qsteph, download and install either NOD32 or Kaspersky and do a full system scan of your PC. Please do so in Safe Mode.
if you can't remove it, then back up your data, reformat your HD, install your programs, configure everything the way you like it, then create an image of the harddrive with Acronis True Image or Norton Ghost. I would also recommend learning about and using Deep Freeze to save you from malware in the future. See my thread called "For All With Malware".

Jabuck, here is my logfile, and to jeremyofmany thanks for the advice but i already followed the first persons.

Looks like you got rid of the malware, are you running better?.
You are running two antivirus programs. You should decide which one you like and uninstall the other as they will conflict.
Update your java (asap) and remove Dell's MYWaySearch (should you choose to do so).
You should add "Spywareblaster" to your arsenol of antispyware tools, just do a google search for spywareblaster, download it,install it, and update it. Its free and runs in the background, so you don't actually run it, and re-writes malicious script before it can install on your computer. Look for updates weekly as there is no auto-update on the free version.
