Virut.ce Removal Plan

My ZoneAlarm Suite has indicated the presents of Win32.Virut.ce and a long list of .exe files to destroy. It would appear that my hard drive is toast, or soon will be, and removal is my only effective option based on what I have been able to learn about the Virut virus.

I need help on the Virut removal process.

ZoneAlarm only indicated problems with files on my C drive. I immediately turn the machine off and currently using an older unit on my home network.

I need confirmation in my plan to restore my main machine which is as follows:
1. Other Drives. I have two other hard drives on that system. If no files on either of these two drives where included in the ZoneAlarm alert, can I conclude that they were not infected?

2. Dell has a partition on the C drive to restore the machine to the original state as it was originally delivered. Can I just do that Dell PC Restore by Symantec or would that be infected?

3. C drive. If I can use the Dell Restore, do I need to format the C drive prior to using the Restore function from the partition?

4. Back Up. After the Dell Restore function is completed, I plan to do a complete backup restore to the C drive which is only a month old. This backup file is on an external drive which has not been on during this Virus attach but has been attached to this infected PC.

If my step-by-step plan is faulty, would you please advise as to your recommendation.

After your response to the above…………….I will go to it.

 

Unable to provide the info as indicated in the Malware Removal Guide, I would if I could but I can not.

The system will boot to what appears to be Windows Explorer screen but the screen is blank.

I have tried to run Explorer from the Task Manager run command and can not. Every program exe file that I tried the same message was received, which was as follows:

Windows can not access the specific device, path . or file. You may not have the appropriate permission to access the item.

If there is a way that you can suggest that I would be able to comply with the guide at this point, please let me know.

As ut stands, I just want to be clear of this and get it behind me.

If you wish not to provide advice on the suggested plan or options, please let me know so that I can proceed on my own as I have described
