Hello,

first of all you should temporarily turn off System Restore.
Instructions for Windows XP: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310405
Instructions for Windows Vista: http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/help/f0688925-5abe-4caf-b49a-018f8cfcaf4d1033.mspx

1. Delete the following files: oledsp32.dll, sysdll.dll, syslib32.dll, wmimgr32.dll.
Sality files can be found in one of the following folders:
C:\Windows\System
C:\Windows\System32
C:\Winnt\System32
C:\Windows\Temp
C:\Winnt\Temp.

2. Delete values from the registry

Click Start > Run.
Type regedit
Click OK.

Navigate to and delete the following registry entry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\StandardProfile\AuthorizedApplications\List\"[INFECTED FILE]" = "[INFECTED FILE]:*:Enabled:ipsec"

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\[USER NAME]914
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum\Root\LEGACY_WMI_MFC_TPSHOKER_80
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum\Root\LEGACY_IPFILTERDRIVER

If the manual removal fails, then I strongly recommend you to download an automatice Sality virus remover form here: http://www.2-spyware.com/remove-sality.html
This tool will rempove the virus and any related malware.

Good luck!

Don't forget to enable System restore.

Scan your computer with Spyware Doctor again and make sure that your system is absolutely clean. (If the scan results are fine, that means your PC is clean)

Then download CCleaner from http://www.ccleaner.com
CCleaner is a freeware system optimization, privacy and cleaning tool. It removes unused files from your system - allowing Windows to run faster and freeing up valuable hard disk space.

After that, download the a disk defragmenter from http://www.kessels.com/Jkdefrag/
This tool is more effective than the native Windows defragment tool. (also free to use)

Finally, you may repair the system with your Windows CD. Just boot the disk and choose Windows Repair option.
