My Friend got Brontok.C, please help us

We have tried to use any removal tools, but the worm prevented us to open the .exe, command prompt, task manager, registry edit, and (almost like the other) prevented us to open folder option by refreshing the desktop.
We tried to install some anti virus program, but it closed immediately.
We tried to scan it’s reproduction folder using avast (update version early March) in other computer, but it done nothing.

Please, help us…
We really need your help…
Thanx 'lot.

NB : We got the name of the worm/virus when the application started.

Did you try to manage this in booting Safe Mode?
There are some possibilities of this worm being removed by the avast Cleaner (standalone download and virus removal). Other antivirus could have similar tools.
