1) If you are using WinME or WinXP, disable System Restore
            http://vil.nai.com/vil/SystemHelpDocs/DisableSysRestore.htm
2) Please reboot your PC into Safe Mode
3) Perform a Full Scan of your platform and clean/delete any infectors found
4) Restart your PC and perform a "final" Full Scan of your platform
5) If you are using WinME or WinXP, re-enable System Restore, reboot the PC
6) If you are using WinME or WinXP, create a new Restore point
7) Please report back your results
