You can always try a restoration point ...
if this does not help I think you will have to setup your box again : /
You could also try other anti spyware proggies ofc ...
sorry, but I am also clueless

You didn't, did you? You downloaded a "nice" film via p2p, like bearshare or limewire and when trying to play it, you got the message that you had to download a codec, right?
That's the cheapest trick ever on the internet. NEVER EVER CLICK YES.
Installing the codec means that it spreads... like hard drive wide. It might even create backups in other .exe's like ET.exe.
Things I would do.
Search the exact name of the codec through google and find help there. Follow the steps of the removal guide closely. Search for something like "(name) trojan help remove".
Here's what I would usually do:
1. Use hijackthis to delete major parts of the trojan
2. Let AntiVir do a search in secure mode, delete all files that AntiVir thinks are dangerous
3. Delete suspicious folders yourself
4. Delete your browser cache and "temporary internet files" stuff
If nothing helps -> "format c". Seriously, your computer is really heavily slowed down by that and don't let those people get money by going to certain sites that their trojan redirects you to.

Try fully updating then running & . (BOTH, preferably in safemode - tap f8 a few times on boot-up)
If that don't work, I've got some other suggestions

Look at his signature's picture - a monster kill.
Impressive without cheats, with wallhack it's just laughable.
