HELP! HELP! SirC32.EXE

I'm very tired and I have to "wake up" in 5 hours to work.

I dont have energies to tell the whole story but here is some of it.

the public computer I'm using is very crappy.
It has windows98 and norton antivirus
it does not have VB

Ever since I started using this computer I saw it was sending information to the outiside without me doing anything.(Also, it crashed too many times, more than useual) So, I remember that **** that caught grc.com and suspected a irus. So I runed nortn antivirus and saw the virus definitins were ONE YEAR old. I run live update.
I scan the system for virus: 58 files infected. some of them were repaired and others quaritined. There was 6 different virus and some of them had Sircam or sirc32 or something.
It found a file SirC32.exe in C:\recycled which was quaritined. I believe it was that bstard which was ****ing all the system. quaritine with it.. sock32.dll or something like that was too infected but it was repaired.

All virus have gone but I still have a problem. Somehow, all files of type application need sirc32.exe to run....
so now i cant run anything except if I open a file different from application type. that's i'm writting this.

I'm running out of words... i'm ****ing tired of this.

I cant remove the application type from the folders options window. I saw some ini files searching for it but nothing. So I must change in the regitry, i think. but i dont have vb here and I still dont know enough of C to do something.

please any help would be very apreciated.
make the questions you need.

I got a McAfee Despatch newsletter about that today, here is some info

The virus searches for .GIF, .JPG, .JPEG, .MPEG, .MOV, .MPG, .PDF, .PNG, .PS, and .ZIP files in the MY DOCUMENTS folder and attempts to send copies of these documents to email recipients found in the Windows Address Book and addresses found in cached files.
