If you're sure it's a worm, run a Panda scan as suggested. There may be a specific 
removal tool available, if you know the name of the worm. Have you tried McAfee's 
Stinger? Run it in Safe mode and clear out All temp folders. Ewido was just taken 
over by Grisoft, but you can still download a demo of it.

In the meantime, don't visit that site if you think it's responsible? What's the 
URL, and have you tried Site Advisor to see what it has to say about it? Adding it 
to a HOSTS file, will block access to the site completely. Adding the URL into IE's 
restricted zone would be more help. Disable everything that can possibly be disabled 
in the Restricted zone settings.
