Hopefully you've learned from all of this. You cannot operate a computer without Antivirus defenses in place and think you're safe simply because it is working. The most common thing a Virus does when active is spy on you, not make your system unusable.

Some viruses DO make your system unusable, though, but either way, you now know that you're infected as were many of your "important documents". Those documents can no longer be trusted and should be considered "the cost of learning".

As for your programs, you need to reinstall them now WITH your AntiVirus software still running. Reinstallation insures a working, non-infected set of program files are configured properly.

BTW, if you don't have a firewall running, too, you need that as well. ZoneAlarm is a good free firewall.
