Asafecenter.com program has taken over my computer. Please help!?

My computer has been hijacked by a crappy virus protection program called asafecenter.com. It resides on the task bar and pops up warnings about spyware and the like. It has taken over the IE home page. No matter what I do this web page opens when IE is opened, and the preferred page (Yahoo) is not allowed to open as instructed through the IE internet tools. It also gives spurious popups warning of spyware and the like, and when these balloons are present, the computer freezes until they are acknowledged or cancelled manually.

Also reported are problems with the DVD player that will allow a movie to be run for only a short time, then errors are reported and the player shuts down.

Also problems running games, which freeze or boot off after a few minutes.

AVG Free, does not report any viruses or spyware, although I don't know that AVG is good at spyware.

How can I disable and remove this program?

I use XP Pro, P4, IE7.
