This usually means, that your computer is compromized now. In our
tests it lasts approximately 30 seconds until an unprotected computer
is compromized after it's connected to the Internet.
Just flatten your computer and set it up again. And forget "removal
tools", better read:

Just don't install it again. Better use the Windows-Firewall if you
have Windows XP SP2, or a filtering NAT router between your PC and
the net, or shudown all servers your computer is offering to the
Internet. For the latter, you could use http://www.dingens.org or
