Antivirus 2009 Removal from XP

I struggled removing this item from my personal pc and several pc's on networks I manage. An updated antivirus (AVG free edition is what I used) will remove the virus but not fix other issues this creature leaves behind. I used malware bytes antimalware to remove the remaing traces. I tried several other tools to restore order on the machine and nothing else worked. On one machine I had to remove the drive, virus scan (deleting infenction) then run avg and antimalware with the hard drive back in the orginal machine. This is definetly a very network active virus as another machine that I had just reformated sitting on the bench (no av yet) contracted the virus within an hour of a fresh xp install.
