I got infected, yes, me!

It’s not that I’m invulnerable or something, actually I had no antivirus program running at the moment, and all I wanted is download Chicken Invaders from PirateBay to play with my Girlfriend. You’d say, “clear target” - and yes you are right.
I have spent about 4 hours trying to fix this, going from forums.microsoft.com to fix Vista back - to downloading anti spyware programs (none were free!).
I did it my way, downloaded HiJackthis tool from Majorgeeks, removed the suspicious files and then removing it from the HDD as well.
Currently, I’m desinfected but I still have problems with Vista’s System Restore point keep saying that “Maximum number of secrets stored in..” and makes the restore point unavailable.
Got any tip?

Wow, that sucks having to reinstall the OS. WinXP’s system restore is horrible after an infection. I think most of the people that write viruses, trojans, and badware first disable restore to make it difficult to correct the problem.
