First get your system checked out for any remaining malware by posting here:

When the malware team tell you your PC is clean, there's a fix here that should restore the double-click to start programs: http://www.kellys-ko...m/xp_tweaks.htm
Scroll down to Line 12 "Exe fix for windows XP"
If using IE, double-click line 12 and save the reg file.
Double-click the reg file to apply it - then reboot.
If using Firefox, right-click line 12 and choose "Save link as" then proceed as above to apply it. Reboot.
