Possible VX2 Infection (Windows File Protection)

Ok, well at first my iTunes stopped working. I did turn off some registry files in startup (such as qttask, and iTunesHelper, ehTray, although putting them back didn't help.)

Anyway, I don't think what I did caused this though. I did use IE once, although I stick with Firefox usually, maybe thats how I got it.

Anyway, I am a C++ programmer so you can get technical with me, but I haven't found anything suspicious with my hijack this log..
I ran Spybot S&D (detected some cookies), and Adware (detected 33 cookies I believe), but nothing important.

Then a few days later I got an error like "Windows File Protection".... ["Some files may need to be replaced, please insert Windows XP CD"]... Now I don't have a Win XP CD with me, its at home which is far away, plus I doubt that will help. I found this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/904677 , which is what I believe is my problem. Anyway I didn't try Windows Defender yet though...

More problems have started occurring recently..
1) Everytime my computer starts TABUserA.exe crashes at startup (wacom tablet process).
2) Also CFSServ.exe crashes (a windows service... sounds serious).
3) explorer seems to freeze up at startup, so I have to ctrlAltDelete and close explorer.exe and then restart it, and it works fine.
4) iTunes cannot be uninstalled, or installed, or run.. same with QuickTime. So I decided to check with FileMon and RegMon, and found that there are some errors with CFSServ... (this was before the CFSServ crashes). I had also tried to manually uninstall iTunes (remove from registry and from folders), but I can't reinstall so i'm screwed.

In addition, I tried to follow the steps at : http://www.spywaregu..._show.php?id=25
for manual VX2 removal, but so far I'm not done with that yet.

Anyway, I'm screwed, so here's the HijackThis log... Thanks for any help!!!!!!

|_______________|EDIT:
I found out recently, after installing AVG anti-virus that I have win32/Parite. It's infected everything in my computer, and I can't do anything about it, AVG is annoying the crap out of me, making me click AVG Resident Shield "move to vault" 1000s of times. Almost all my programs are gone now. I don't know what to do. I removed the registry, and I have no win XP CD. Help!!!
