"Windows Vista Recovery" - as if

Sorry if this has cropped up already, but this evil beast has just about closed us down.

We have Vista, and until recently had only one workspace (is that what it's called?) Opened a second one recently, mainly to have a seperate itunes account.

"Windows Vista Recovery" has hijacked the browser on the first workspace, as soon as it's opened there is nowhere to go, you can't close it and you can't open anything else. The other workspace is unaffected but all our important stuff is blocked on the first one.

A ggl search recommended Spyhunter to get rid of it so duly purchased and ran, but it's still there. I downloaded and ran the free version of Adaware which identified 790 'errors' and fixed 100 of them - to fix the rest you have to buy the package (the Adaware I used to have was free, no strings)

I see there are D-I-Y solutions to get rid of it but I don't think I have the skills. Any suggestions? Mrs SSK is getting *very* fretful missing out on The Archers podcasts.
