jeefo.W32 & pinfi.W32 HELP!

hey guys, y'know i should have known better than to hook up to the college LAN before installing my norton, but i got busted with just over 510 instances of Jeefo.W32 and Pinfi.W32.

according to symantec, i should boot to safe mode and then virus scan, and it will remove them, and then remove some registry key that it gave me [already checked and the key isn't there]

this thing has captured just about every .EXE ive got on here and im in a sort of heart attack because formatting ISN'T AN OPTION!

anybody got a removal tool? suggested miracle?

please!

Unfortunately, I could find no quick fixes. The Pinfi is a very well (bad for us) written virus and drops itself into the temp file under a randomly generated name. Ugh. This is the only thing I can think of that might help.

Another option would be to protect a system from the virus and then connect the two over a LAN connection (peer to peer) and let the protected machine clean your infected system. AVG anti-virus has no information on either virus on their web site, so I do not think I would use them to protect the cleaning system.
