SDRA64.EXE threat found via f-secure scan

Hi techie boffins!

When I recenty logged on to my internet banking site, the log on page asked for waaayy too much personal information. I alerted my bank and the online account has been disabled.

The bank advised me to run an f-secure.co.uk scan - and the result shows a windows\system32\SDRA64.EXE threat which cannot be cleaned. (I've googled the threat and it appears to capture sensitive information particularly regarding online bank accounts).

So, what do I do now? My bank advised a PC specialist look at my computer - but do you have any suggestions on how I can remove the threat/virus myself?

Help very much appreciated
