First: do the Rootkit thing as posted above.

Second: see my post How to remove Aurora/Nailfix and do that.
I'll also include some Aurora 'fixers' underneath just in case...

Third, Boot in Safe Mode.
Switch System restore OFF, see how here.
In Windows Explorer, turn on "show all files and folders, including hidden and system". See how here.
Next, open Windows Task Manager.
On Windows 95/98/ME, press CTRL+ALT+DELETE.
On Windows NT/2000/XP, press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC.
Click the Processes tab, select the process (if there) and click End Process for:
Nail.exe
WINSHELL.EXE
fxfchm.exe
svcproc.exe

Next, click on Start/Run and type in (followed by press Enter):
regsvr32 /u C:\Program Files\LoveFreeGames\Toolbar\lfg-toolbar.dll

Next, click Start/Control Panel/Add/Remove Programs. If there, UNinstall anything to do with:
C:\Program Files\LoveFreeGames\Toolbar\lfg-toolbar.dll

Next, click Start/Run and type services.msc and click OK. Look for the service:
svcproc.exe
WINSHELL.EXE
Doubleclick it, click Stop if it's running, and change the Startup type to Disabled.

Next, click Start/Run and type cmd and hit Enter. When a command prompt opens, type:
nail.exe /FullRemove and hit Enter.

Next, run a HJT scan and (if still there) place a tick-mark in the little square before:

Minor Setback

Hi,

Thank you for all your help, it seems that the virus as been removed because no more virus alerts are popping up. One minor set back however, when i tried to remove the Love Free Games toolbar in the add/remove section of the control panel, it doesnt seem to delete. Is there any other way to get rid of that thing.

Once again thank you for your help, it is very much appreciated

Scott
