Now we can see what were dealing with

It maybe tricky for me to help right now but the experts come on here tomorrow and they know a lot more, you could try googling the viruses from another computer failing that one of the experts will look them up for you

the w32.virut one actually downloads other malware on port 65520

if you can try and copy and paste them into google and you will find lots of info on them, looks like there a nasty bunch

dialers dial out and increase your phone bill, have you noticed any strange dialled numbers recently?

[Kayriel]

I don't even have my landline hooked up, dialing out should be impossible.

Got to go mate got something important tomorrow, if you can hold out till tomorrow then the experts can help you out, you have made it a lot easier for us to help you by retrieving the malware names

Win32:Virut (There's like 1500-2000 of these, from the looks of it)

Virut was the biggest of the problems you had.  It's a file infector that spreads to all exe's in almost no time, and its virtually impossible to disinfect the files once they are infected.

The usual course once virut is established is a reformat which you've been forced into in a round about way.

a short description of Virut is here http://www.avast.com/eng/win32-virut.html i can only suggest a re-format and a new fresh instalation of windows... btw: the date October 25 (in mentioned virus description) responds to a new Virut generation detected as Win32:Virtob now.. the older mutations were detected since August...

[mauserme]

If you back up before the reformat you should be safe with images and documents.  But leave any remaining executables behind or you'll reinfect your new installation.

Maxx are these viruses (mentioned in Kayriel's post) going to have definitions that clean/prevent them in future (ie improvements to detect the new variations and improved cleaning/detection)

[Maxx_original]

is it a question for me? i think these viruses were detected correctly, but this user didn't have updated VPS maybe..
