Corrupt Web Browser/Registry

[Guest]

A Trojan virus invaded my computer. It changed my web browser to a http://find4u.net/index.htm. Also, it attaches several porn sites to my favorite box. The name of the virus was TrojanBite.Verify

I did run a virus scan on my computer and deleted the virus. According to the Nortan Antivirus program I no longer have a virus. Nevertheless, my computer continues to run very slowly and I have been unable to get rid of the unwanted web browser or the porn links. I did go into the control panel and change my home page. I also tried putting a block on the web browser as well as the porn links.

In trying to research why this might be happening I have surmised that the virus may have corrupted my registry. However, I have no idea what commands in the registry are supposed to be there and which are corrupt. Help!

If you have a System Restore Point from before the infection, restore
the system to this Restore Point. Else see "Home Page Setting Changes
Unexpectedly, or You Cannot Change Your Home Page Setting"
