new virus (where to get and how i managed to fix)

it was a link on mirc that someone pasted
basically if you go there, it would spam the following each 4 mins or so, but you cannot see it, only others see it

<- wow !!
that is also the link to virus
also i keeps putting a gay porn website as homepage on IE
the way i managed to fix it is to delete the windows\system32\userinit32.exe
also in registry i reput userinit.exe ( i think this is the original one) isntead of userinit32.exe
the OS i use is windows xp

actually, i ran avast manually and it never picked it up
also it only does the userinit32.exe thing, i checked for others, they are not there
but it does do the userinit32 thing 100% like the site says

Maybe it is a other IRC Malware. If you still have it you can test it here:
