Can't get rid of this virus....

I need some help figuring out what is left to clean out on my system after following the majorgeeks Virus Removal Guide. I am not particularly gifted with computers (hence the virus problem in the first place) but I would appreciate any and all help given.

Well, here goes...

I have Windows XP and Service Pack 2

I received a nasty virus, worm, whatever this weekend via good ol' MS Messenger.

Symptoms
1) It shutdown my AntiVirus everytime I tried to start it and would not let me access any AV companies webpages.
2) MS Messenger is then autorunning whenever it wants, probably speading the damn thing to my friends list.
3) Firewall auto shuts down as does every other AV application giving me more viruses etc..

Great!

So I panic cause I cant run the things needed to fix this stupid virus.

After coming to my senses I go to the majorgeeks Virus Removal Guide and follow the steps...
which have inevitably lead me here begging for your help.

Removal Steps and the Re/action

1) CCleaner - ok

2) MS Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - ok

3) Ad-Aware SE - 1 possible virus file in registry HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT:reffile\shell\open\command""("%1")
ACTION: Removed it

4) Spybot S+D - 1 file
FakeMSN8Beta (includes) c:\windows\system32\taskkill.com
c:\windows\system32\netstat.com
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\csrss
ACTION: Removed it

5)MS Windows Defender - 1 file
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
ACTION: Removed it

6) Being overly paranoid I download counterspy and run that too.

-so after all of this msmessenger has stopped auto running. firewall is no longer deactivated, and i can access Antivirus programs. But I have a sneaking suspicion that there are things that are left that need to be removed still.

Thank you for your help

 

Thanks for the speedy reply to my problem

Thanks again for all your help

 

oh and i am going to rescan with bitdefender and repost that... sorry about that

 

Hmm, I guess its a good thing but my new bitdefender virus scan came back clean this time.

 

Sorry for the long waits between posts. I live in Japan so the 17+hr time difference doesnt help much.
Regedit works fine now.
Thanks a million for the help.
You saved me many a sleepless night.

 

System Restore is set.
Good advice to follow on your guide.

Thanks again for all the help
