Default Virus help please (crosspost from CTH)

I was playing this dude on Prima 50/100 NLHE and took about 10k off him. He asked for my AIM so I gave it to him. He asked if I wanted to read an interesting article about Prima, so I said OK.

He then transferred me a file, which I opened and ran. It was called something like PrimaPokerswearticle.exe. Anyway, nothing happened, but it still showed running in my Task Manager.

I am as I write this running my AVG Soho edition virus checker, as well as Microsoft Windows Defender (Beta 2).

I know I have been a complete moran in opening the file, but what should I do now to protect myself against him stealing all my passwords, installing a keylogger, looking at my hole cards in future, etc?

Please help. I don't even feel I can log onto a poker site by entering my password safely.

I am willing to pay through the nose for good anti-spyware software or anti-virus software. Please help!

Edit: mods, sorry if this is posted in the wrong forum. Please delete it if you see fit. Thanks.
