service.exe = known virus

I have a virus... you probably guessed as much from this thread's title. While active, it was preventing all internet access from my machine. I realised this was a virus when I discovered I could still access the net from a networked machine.
The file is called service.exe (NOT services.exe), and it is a known virus. The problem is, I can't seem to get rid of it. Any suggestions?
