Computer infected by Win32 Virut

About 2 days ago I ran an update for game which unfortunately carried with it the Win32 Virut. Before my computer was completely paralyzed I ran a Norton Security Scan and that specific virus popped up everywhere. I've done a little research and found that it infects mainly .exe files. Rather than attempt to salvage my files I decided to reformat.

Having reinstalled Windows Vista 32bit, I noticed that things were still going wrong.

- Unable to install Microsoft Office 07 :

Error 1935. An error occurred during the installation of assembly component
[97F81AF1-0E47-DC99-A01F-C8B3B9A1E18E]. HRESULT: 0x8007054F

- Unable to install AVG Free Edition :

Error: Action failed for file avgwdsvc.exe: starting service....
Error 0x800736b1

- Unable to run Trend Micro HouseCall 6.5 :

An error occurred while trying to transfer data from the Internet!
Do you want Trend Micro HouseCall to try resending the required files?

Here is my HJT v2.0.2 log file :

I was able to install avast! AV but it didn't find any problems. I also ran a Win32 Virut remover from AVG to no avail.

I wholeheartedly appreciate any feedback.
