websearch virus

Question

i got this websearch toold bar related trojan on my lap top (inspiron 600m,xp sp 2)yesterday. I ran norton antivirus and ad aware scans and they got the infected files,after that i clicked remove all infected files option. After rebooting i am not able to run any application (exe) on my laptop. like if i type any command on run window it says windows cannot open this file 'file name .exe'  ,to open this file windows needs to know what program created it.... for example i get the same message when i type winword on run address bar....but if i double click a word doc it opens fine. i am even unable to go to the add/remove program option 'this file does not have a program associaed with it for performing this action.Create an association in the folder options control panel  ' i am afraid i deleted a windows dll as part of the clean up.... any idea what's going on guys... thanks

Hi vik 1036: You should post your HJT logfile in the HJT board, (not here) at http://forums.us.dell.com/supportforums/board?board.id=si_hijack Be patient waiting for a reply, as the HJT analysts are few, and very busy.

my problem got solved ..just for guidance...to people having this problem.. since i was unable to run regedit from run address bar.. changed regedit.exe to regedit .com and the changed some default value to '%1'%' (not sure which value...tried finding that website later but couldn't locate) after this change ran the exe mentioned at this link.http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/PLEASE_HELP_ME_OUT_OF_MALWARE_bleep_-t26348.html and then things started making sense again....
