I recently clicked on the 'omg, this is so funny' link in msn, which brought up a download screen and I clicked on open, rather than save, which spread the cute.pif virus across my computer. This has disabled access to MSN, Freeserve, etc. and it's becoming a huge problem as my home computer is now unable to connect to the net.

I ran ad-aware, ewido, norton and CJShredder and it's still there, and the hotkeysvc.exe program is still running in task manager. Here's my Hijack this log, please help!:

Sorry, I also meant to mention I closed hotkeysvc.exe from my task manager and I ran msconfig and unchecked the box next to it on startup, but there were multiple entries of it. I DESPERATELY need help on this, so any help is greatly appreciated.
