How to remove PWS-Bluedit

[- 781]

I somehow infected my pc with the PWS-Bluedit virus.
Norton Antivirus 2006 with updated virus definitions was unable to remove
the virus as it keeps coming back.
Here is the website from McAfee
http://vil.nai.com//vil/content/v_132935.htm

Can someone tell me whether I can get a removal tool or do I have to buy
McAfee?
Thanks.
Running WinXP Pro SP2.

There are 2 files that are being recreated:
1. IExplorer.dll
2. 2.exe

IExplorer.dll is opened with a program called NOTEDAD
2.exe has a IE Logo on it.

Tap F8 until a menu appears when your computer is booting up. Select Safe
mode with command prompt then type "del c:\windows\2.exe" and press enter
(without quotes) do this step for iexplorer.dll (you should know where are
they located). after all finished type exit and press enter.

Download MULTI_AV.EXE from the URL --
http://www.ik-cs.com/programs/virtools/Multi_AV.exe

To use this utility, perform the following...
Execute; Multi_AV.exe { Note: You must use the default folder C:\AV-CLS }
Choose; Unzip
Choose; Close

Execute; C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT
{ or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS }

NOTE: You may have to disable your software FireWall or allow WGET.EXE to go through your
FireWall to allow it to download the needed AV vendor related files.

C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT -- { or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS}
This will bring up the initial menu of choices and should be executed in Normal Mode.
This way all the components can be downloaded from each AV vendor's web site.
The choices are; Sophos, Trend, McAfee, Kaspersky, Exit this menu and Reboot the PC.

You can choose to go to each menu item and just download the needed files or you can
download the files and perform a scan in Normal Mode. Once you have downloaded the files
needed for each scanner you want to use, you should reboot the PC into Safe Mode [F8 key
during boot] and re-run the menu again and choose which scanner you want to run in Safe
Mode. It is suggested to run the scanners in both Safe Mode and Normal Mode.

When the menu is displayed hitting 'H' or 'h' will bring up a more comprehensive PDF help
file. http://www.ik-cs.com/multi-av.htm
