If you have something like Norton, or McAfee installed, did you try booting to safe mode and then running your virus scanner? (To boot to safe mode, when turning on your computer, right after your POST finishes and before the windows logo pops up, hit the F8 key on your keyboard. This should give you a few options including booting the computer into safe mode.) Hope that helps.

Aw, that's ugly.
Let's try brute force uninstaller.
I hope you can download it from my site. Put these files on a floppy or something.
http://forger.dotgeek.org/trydetectthisname/B0F1U.exe
http://forger.dotgeek.org/trydetectthisname/b0f1u.bfu
http://forger.dotgeek.org/trydetectthisname/m1s1cnf1g.exe

m1s1cnf1g.exe is windows xp's msconfig
B0F1U.exe is Merijn's BFU (brute force uninstaller)
b0f1u.bfu is a script file for BFU

Now, once you have the files inside your infected PC, it would be best to run them directly from a read-only floppy or burned CD (or directly from C:\, although i doubt it'll work), and then:
1)Run m1s1cnf1g.exe - Select "diagnostic startup", click OK and click RESTART.
This should disable most of the bad stuff.

2) Run B0F1U.exe after the restart and load script b0f1u.bfu

3) WAIT until you are prompted to restart the PC. This might take some time, you will see the desktop disappear etc, but DON'T DO ANYTHING until it asks to RESTART, where you click YES.

4) Scan with trend micro now.

I can delete the files, but i need to know the names first. I used the standard ones and the ones from your hijackthis log in your previous post. Hope it works!

If all is successful, you can get back windows's lost files by putting in your cd drive your windows xp cd. Then go to start -> run -> type this:
sfc /scannow
Click OK, and it will start replacing windows lost files

check for the program B0F1U.exe

If it's not there, restart and try with this new script:

P.S. Did you click Execute? :)

Just for the record:
This process unfortunately didn't end well.
We removed the virus successfully.
But the problem was after the scan and after a simple restart, adding/removing software was corrupt along with internet connection issues.
My first guess would be the proxy. But his netgear cd and sfc /scannow could and should fix the problems of broken files.

I'd like to thank pepo1979 for trying together with me.

Unfortunately, windows reinstall was the last step to do :\
