Default All screwed up

I'm new here. I know this has probably been covered a million times. But about 4-5 months ago I downloaded a few of those file types you guys warned about (e.g. WMA) and my computer has finally reached the point where the popups are just nonstop. I'm infected with Spyworm.Win32. I have a "balloon" on my screen as I speak. It says "System Alert: Malware threats...Your computer is infected with a back door Trojan...yadda, yadda. There's 3 different balloons like this, all with a similar message. My computer currently has Norton, Security Troubleshooter, WinAntivirus, and AntivirusGolder. I ran one of these and it says I have 80 "viruses" from LIMEWIRE.
My question: What do I need to do to get my computer back to normal (get rid of all this spyware crap)? Do I need to delete my music or LIMEWIRE? Whatever it takes, I don't care. Although I would eventually like to use Limewire again. At least now I know which files to avoid. If someone can just give me a link to answer this question (I'm sure it's been answered a million times), I'd really appreciate it.
