Is anyone good with computers?

Okay, after some research I don't think that's the culprit.

Did you open any suspicious email recently?

Is your comp networked to anything else?

Anyway, getting rid of it:

The Symantec tool is the place to start: http://www.symantec.com/security_response/writeup.jsp?docid=2001-072013-2927-99
Then scan the comp with AVG
Then get yourself a copy of Malwarebytes (currently has a free version): http://www.malwarebytes.org/ and scan with that.

If any of those don't run try booting the comp in safe mode (hold f8 during boot up) and try those again.

If all that doesn't work try using Combofix to nuke the virus from orbit.

The virus that you say you have is spread through email. It has to have gotten on your system somehow if it wasn't you it might have been someone else who used the computer or it may have been spread over network.
 
If you want i can give you an invite to this really good torrent site and they have some virus protection stuff on there...or i could make an AIM account and just file transfer this program called Avast security. Another good virus protection software is Nod32 but i am not completely sure if they have a 64bit version but it is one of the best.
 
In my general opinion, most Antivirus is more or less on par with their competitors (with the exception of Symantec and Norton, which are crud). I usually view them as last lines of defense. The first line of defense is safe browsing techniques, the second is adblock and flashblock.
 
After scanning my computer it seems like it wasn't SirCam virus since none of my files were infected. So... yeah, i'm tottaly clueless of what to do now. I'll try to look more into it
