Rootkit infection help needed

[NorthernJames]

Hi, i'm not sure if this is in the correct section so feel free to move it if needed.

I have been trying to install MBAM for a few days, i had been worried my PC had a virus and recently AVG keeps picking up trojans during its scans but its obvious that its not dealing with the problem.

I couldn't get MBAM running at all so i was looking at the forums for advice, tried a few different things and now i'm pretty sure the problem i'm having is this one:

CLB Rootkit infection aka WinNT-Alureon

http://www.malwarebytes.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=12709

I run RootRepeal and sure enough there is an obvious .sys file like described in that thread.

However, i try to 'wipe' the file as advised and after a short delay my PC crashes to blue screen and needs to be restarted.

I run RootRepeal again after restart and the file is still there.

Reading the advice in that thread i notice it says

Next right mouse click on it and select *wipe file* option only then immediately reboot the computer!!!!

Should i be rebooting as soon as i've clicked wipe?

I.E. not waiting for RootRepeal to report that its done anything?

Any advice at all on what i should do?

Any help greatly appreciated
