Rootkit please help

[Messengerrobo]

Hello MajorGeeks forums!!

It's been about two years since I last needed to come here, but recently I got this annoying rootkit on my hands and I can't get seem to get rid of it...

I've various scans like and Malwarebytes and spybot search and destroy, but they won't find anything. When I first got the rootkit, these scans did remove some things(probably the viruses that came with the rootkit), but can't find/remove the rootkit itself. I know it's there because when I run a scan with my antivirus(AVG) it always finds the rootkit, but can't do anything about it. The only information it gives me about the rootkit is:

Corrupted section atapi.sys[.text] +0x6852, size 1 bytes

The only symptoms my laptop seems to be showing are that the fan starts getting hot quicker when I run things, and certain websites like Google won't load at all. Also, I'm using Windows XP SP3. Any advice?

I ran TDSSKiller and it seems to have solved the problem; now my antivirus scan finds nothing and Google is working again. Thanks

Ah, one more thing; when I run TDSSkiller now, it finds four suspicious objects (unsigned files):

Service: BTKRNL
Service: btwdins
Service: BTWUSB
Service: FLEXnet Licensing Service

First time I ran the scan I chose the skip option for all of them. Do I need to worry about these, or should I just ignore them?
