The regedit value might appear as "syshelps". And in the C:\Windows\system32\systesrt32.dll. Removing them and the .zip file should help.

Another way that works: go to google and write "Avast", one of the best free anti-virus scans. You will only have to register and then it's free for 1 year, otherwise it's only free for 60 days -.-
