This is good and useful information. Thank you.

No problem mate. I used the tool to remove some viruses in my computer which were accidentally taken from my sister laptop. ’sigh’
One of the signs if your computer is infected with viruses above is, every time you try to open c:\\ drive folder in My Computer, it will be opened in a new window.
There are other signs, but I think you will hardly notice them. Cheers!

Wow, your laptop is seriously infected then. I always wondered how people manage to have problems with viruses.
What kind of protection do you use? I have Zone Alarm with AVG and they serve me perfectly for 6 years now.

Not that serious, actually. I use Zone Alarm, Kapersky 7.0, and AdAware and the incident happened before I get to install any security software on my freshly formatted hard disk.
Hope some will find their breaktrough with the tool mentioned in this post. Just keep it in your thumb drive for everlasting protection from the viruses above.

Hey, hopefully someone can make use of this
If you are having issues running virus scanners whilst your computer is turned on, try to start into ‘Safe Mode’.
If you’re using a version of Windows, you’ll be able to do this. (Windows XP, Windows Vista & Windows 7)
Safe Mode:
Turn computer off
Turn computer on whilst tapping F8. When prompted select ’safe mode with networking’
When prompted, click Yes & start into Windows as normal.
