tried to clean it up with instructions

[jclaytona]

printed the instructins from the forum topic "i'm infected-what do i do now" I had the windows XP security virus, ran malawarebytes quick and full scan and it seemed to go away. at that point realized that i had no menu of programs at start up and all my desktop icons were gone. got on the internet and kept getting redirected. i used it for a few days like this because i was tired of dealing with it, just copied and pasted the web addresses, still doing all of this. wanted to clean it up so i printed the instructions and started the process of defogging. i got through disabling the emulation drivers and moved on to downloading DDS, only one log came up. moved on to the GMER rootkit scanner and started to scan. the first time the it scanned for a little over an hour then stopped and the computer restarted on it's own. when it booted back up i received a pop up saying windows recovered from a serios problem. at that point i tried the scan again, walked away came back 2 hours later and was still scanning, walked away and retuerned to find that it had stopped and there was a problem with R66v.exe file. I shut it down and came here this morning, can you please help me. what do i do next? I have attached the 3 items i have on my desktop from starting this procedure, hope they help.
