Hello PEPSIGIRL,

You can get direct help from Microsoft for issues with virus infections or
issues related to security patches.

In the United States or Canada, dial 1-866-pcsafety. Elsewhere in the
world, equivalent help is available, although the phone call may not be
free. Call your local Microsoft Subsidiary, or the number for paid support
in your locale, and ask for the free help with virus infections or security
patch related issues.

Also I would suggest running a HijackThis to to ensure
that Vundo did not bring along any uninvited guests.
(SDBot and ZLOB, all protected by a rootkit.)

You might also consider going with posting a HijackThis log in a specialized
forum that deals with reading such logs:

Please read this guide before actually doing the procedure

And it has all of the links for downloads you need.

Pяeparation Guide for use before posting a HijackThis Log

This will give you a starting point for your
troubleshooting anyway.
