Or try on of the on-line scanners & see if one of those helps you.

And, thinking about it for a minute...I think there might be a left over .dll. Look up the virus on line if you can & find out what kind of files it dumps on your computer. That might help you isolate the d*mn thing too.

Did you get your pc fixed? Able to re-install your programs & save your back-ups? One other thing you might want to do too. If you have system restore turned on the virus could lurk in there as well. Turn it off and re-boot to "flush" out the system and then turn it back on and create a restore point.
Hope you got everything going....
