Not the entire thing, i hope for your sake you made Partitions like C: and D:, if so, remove all valuable data like Games, Music whatsoever you got to the other and then Format the one that has your Operating System installed on and then Install a clean Windows.
Most Freeware Viruscans won't really do much anymore then try and hold the flood, you got something utterly nasty and the best bet is just Purging the entire OS, with some luck the rest of your files like Games and such are Not infected, if they are aswel... good Luck Buddy :[

at the sounds of it yes as Forumite has said format your computer but so long as you know that you will loose all your private data etc unless you were smart enough to have a back-up copy of everything.
nice to see you using NOD32
another way you could try but is not a definite way of clearing it up is to repeatedly keep virus scanning your computer over and over until you happy and even then do it some more it is a long and laborious task but it would save loosing your data if it wasn't backed up

As the old saying goes, "Let the Buyer Beware". The same can be said about downloading and installing things from unknown sources.
If it is that infected the best thing to do is to reformat and start it all over. Next time, don't download things that you don't know who the source is.
PETA....IT'S WHAT'S FOR DINNER

Do not install codecs from sources you do not trust.
I suggest getting VLC media player
http://www.videolan.org/
Also you can try getting the CCCP
http://cccp-project.net it has some very awesome codecs.
Just dowloading main stream players gives you a high % of the codecs you will ever use. Windows Media, Apple, Divx and such.
---- Sucks for the viruses but your best bet is to do a restore on your system back before you downloaded that virus.

Backup Documents first, then Format, Format + Windows Installing takes around 2-3 hours, maybe less depending how big your HDD is, it took me 4 hours of Formatting alone but i have 1.1TB, i suppose you Don't.

or, instead of doing something unnesecary and pretty stoopid like formatting, just get a boot disk, you can find them and download them off the net very easily (lol) and you can boot from the disk, and clean the hard drive of viruses without having to boot into windows. you can even backup all your personal data from the bootdisk and recover deleted files.

in fact, here's the link to save you even having to look:
THE LINK
there's instructions on the site on how to do it, and hopefully it will sort out your problems without having to format anything.
and next time you download a film and it asks you to download a stand alone player, just don't, or at least google the name first to see what pops up. and use avg 8.

You Forgot non-porn movies and Audio Files aswell.
The intention was putting the other HDD into another PC in the house, but seeing as the one using that would only use it to house more Adware, Spyware, Virus's, Trojans and Keyloggers i decided to keep it and use it in a more orderly fashion.
Tsk Tsk, such a waste to house 300GB's worth of Trojans and other Sickened Software.

So it worked though? Or do you mean the viruses manage to go with the backup'd files?
