Trojan Adclicker ? Help! I have vista!

For the past month or so when ever I'm on deviant Art a pop up occasionally appears. It takes over my browser and redirects it to "www.stroobel.com" for an IQ quiz. This has happened Several times. Also, a popup takes over my browser saying it its going to scan my computer with 'virus doctor'. I have found others are having the same problem with "Mangafox"

After my PC tools:internet security scanned my computer today I found the Trojan.

I believe this trojan is also referred to as virtualmundo or it has some tie to this. From what the virus scan says it is Trojan.Adclicker..
While searching the web I found this trojan is for the XP. But I have windows vista.
The following are the registry keys as well as a screen shot of my PC tools as well as a typed out registry key values that PC tools has recognized as belonging to the Trojan. I tried to fix it with PC tools and I cannot find the registry values any longer except for the one that says it is to be repaired. I do not know if i have fixed the problem are not. Registry values the scan found are below..Please help!:

I would suggest downloading MalwareBytes and doing a scan...and SUPERAntispyware and doing another scan. Remove anything that it finds. If it finds Trojan.Adclicker and is able to remove it, let me know so I can tell you how to secure your browser so that this doesn't happen again.
