Help in removing virus

Two days ago, I found out that my PC's drives might have problems. Usually double-click opens drive all drives, but now a double-click opens them in a new window. Downloads are also getting slow.

Quite curious of something wrong, I scanned my PC (my antivirus is Avast) to find out viruses. I thought they were gone until where I rebooted the PC, rescanned only to find out some viruses persisted there. The viruses disguise themselves as g8k.exe and autorun.inf.

I searched clues on the Internet to remove these bastards. Finally, some webpages suggested malware remover. I downloaded Malwarebit (or something like that) and SpyBot at instant and utilised them. All of them was destroyed, but they reappear everytime I turn on the computer. Everytime I scan the disk drives, they got quarantined and every reboot, they seem to be gone, but they come back in about two hours or so.

Worse than that is the antivirus only detect these viruses on C:, while same viruses on E: are spared. And even worse, the antivirus program and malware removers didn't detect g8k.exe.

What should I do?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

And make sure to do a thorough scanning of your startup items/services before rebooting. Easiest way to view these are with Start > Run > Msconfig
Can you direct me how to do this? I don't quite understand these kind of stuffs --'

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Wow, so g8k.exe is the virus itself, not a disguise...I'm astonished.

No wonder neither of the programs could detect it...it's fresh from the oven.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
