For whatever its worth, I fight these infections quite a bit, since I'm involved in the comuter industry, and I won't recommend any malware removal programs publicly, the only thing I will say is, msconfig (not present in Windows 2000, but you can use it from XP or 98), safe mode, and turn off system restore before cleaning.
I haven't had to restore from a backup using the above 3 tips and maybe 1 or 2 malware tools for over 10 years.

As far as what is the best removal tools out there, ask the members of WebmasterWorld what they think?
