If you don't have regular registry backups using ERDNT, try a System 
Restore.  Go back to a date before all this started. That will replace your 
registry and restore your system files.

If you can identify the trojan which attacked you, you could also go to the 
Symantec or McAfee websites and see if they have specialised removal tools 
for this particular trojan. These removal tools are usually free downloads.

Registry cleaners are generally pretty ineffective for this purpose. They 
only clear up the superficial dead-ends.
