My only comment is this: I have never seen anyone successfully clean up 
a virus infection on a multi-user version of Windows, other than wiping 
and reinstalling from scratch. If it turns out it *is* intentionally 
malicious software rather than just Windows ;-) I'd suggest you scrounge 
up your install disks for everything, unless you only use that machine 
for stuff where you wouldn't mind having a key-logger installed.

(For that matter, the three or four times I've seen a UNIX system 
compromised, that always got zeroed and reinstalled too, but those were 
all work servers with customer data on them and stuff, so you really 
couldn't be too careful there.)
