Haha, lucky me - I had planned a reformat of my computer for the upcoming school year...
Rather than dealing with the virus, I spent 16 hours:
backing up data from E: to C:
reformatting E: using gvt standard write
backing up data from C: to E:
spending 3 hours taking down settings
reformatting C:
reinstalling win xp pro
install sp 1 & dl all critical updates
install 15gb of software
copy back C: data on E: to C:
yeah... that was a nicely planned reformat so things went smoothly and everything felt the same the next day
