W32/Protorid-AD worm detected Vista x64

I just found by looking at my autorun programs, I have one with a file name %1. I read on another forum "bleepingcomputer" that it's added by the W32/protorid-AD worm. I am wondering if anyone knows how to rid myself of this. I assume I must have the worm too!

I am running the latest versions of Avast and run SpyBot, and Malwarbytes every 3-4 days. (no "adult sites" viewed) lol

I have noticed one thing...Show processes fro all users in "task manager" sometimes takes 2-3 tries to show. That's the only thing I've noticed out of the ordinary.

Do I need to worry? How can I fix this?
