Help me get rid of viruses Can't Post

Recently, someone in runescape said they were giving away FREE rs chars, and to add them on msn if anyone wanted. I added him, and he sent me his "password list". Scanning the file with both AVG 7.0 and Mcaffee found no viruses. I opened the file, and everything seemed ok, pictures of his chars stats, and usernames. There was an outwar file linking to his "passwords". Cautiosly I opened it, and nothing happened so immediately I scanned my whole PC with AVG and Mcaffee and It found some viruses...

PSW.Sclog.B x2

PSW.Sclog.C

BackDoor.Prorat.AT

BackDoor.Prorat.2.B x3

They seem to have embedded themselves into my C:\_RESTORE folder under certain files, but ALL the spyware/antivirus programs I had got are unable to delete, and I cannot manually delete them even though I can access the file. I lost all me stuff on runescape, and I don't know what to do to get rid of them, without having to resort to the last straw, which is formatting my computer...

Any Ideas?

Well, what I can tell you, is that anything in the "system restore" folder is generally hard get rid of...

Try googling the name of each virus, and with any luck you'll find removal instructions

1a. Boot in safe mode.
1b. Disable system restore
2. Run anti virus
3. Delete viruses
4. Reboot, and check again for viruses. You should find none, but if you do find any, format is your last option.

You should add disconnect to the internet.
