full reinstall, but wait for Essexboy, he is the malware removal expert in here and will tell you what you can backup and how if you need to
Your database of MBAM is old,but anyway it wont help as Virut/Vitro or Ramnit can be removed only by reinstalling your OS.
Follow this guide: http://support.kaspersky.com/viruses/solutions?qid=208280756

Virut can not be cleaned from the active Windows.
Required format C and then downloaded Avast to your desktop and the boot time scan (all HDD).
Do not click on another partition D, E… virus has infected all partitions.
Other options are a waste of time.
mmK. Looks like it will really end up in a FFR. Well, thanks a lot guys for all the information you gave, ;D I do appreciate it. :-\ 
I’ll try to keep my profile alive… See yah.!

Well, I’m afraid I have bad news for you.
You have been infected with a polymorphic file infector named Virut. This infection will spread to every executable file in your computer, and unfortunately the only cure for it is to Reformat and Reinstall.
Right now, the best thing you can do is to backup, preferably to CD, all your important data, documents, pictures, movies, and songs.
DO NOT backup any applications or installers and DO NOT backup any files with the following extensions:
[].exe
[].scr
[].htm
[].html
[].xml
[].zip
[].rar
[].doc
[].jpg
[].pdf
For more information on Virut, and why you need to reformat, have a read of miekiemoes blog here.

Once you have reformatted and reinstalled Windows, have a look at this page for some useful tips on staying clean, along with links to some freeware to help.
To find out more information about how you may have got infected in the first place, you can read this article.
I am sorry I cannot give any better news.
That’s just fine… I’ve already FFR’ed it. Installed all programs and drivers, I was done before 6 PM, having started at 8 AM Manila Time. I want to thank all of you for your time and help; at least now I know what the consequences are when you get this virus.
I’m reading that “Staying Clean” page now. Shall follow everything it says.
I did a full scan after I replugged the external drives back in(fearing that they might have been infected), but they were okay, and the scan didn’t find anything else. I must be getting good at this ‘nuking’ business. 8) ;D
BTW,(this is off-topic) do you know of any forum or site that best addresses external hard drive problems & fixes? Thnks agin…

I’m back. I’m sorry to bother again, but now I have a laptop with this virus. Unfortunately, it does not have an optical drive, and the external disk drive that I have is a brick. Could anyone tell me how to FFR from a pen drive? I have both a 4 GB and an 8 GB available. Please help! Thanks… ;D
Does the laptop have a recovery partition ?
No sir… I only have one partition on it… Is this a problem?
No it is just that if there was you could restore to factory settings - what is the make and model of the laptop ?
It’s a 160GB, XP SP2 Professional version of the AA1 Acer ZG5. 1 GB RAM, Intel Atom processor. I have another one like it, but it is only the first edition, featuring a slow 8 GB SSD and a Linux OS, which I swapped for XP SP3(with the help of some computer friends), along with an SSD accelerator called FlashFire. Any help?
Sure hope this works…
I really don’t want to unplug and lug this all the way to town if I can fix it here. I’m in a rural area, and there’s not that much access to real geeks anyway… ;D
Have a look at this page http://acer.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2631/session/L3NpZC9XeHljRnd1aw%3D%3D
On some acers when you boot there is an option displayed at the bottom that says
Press Del for BIOS and F12 for setup
If it is like that on your system then press F12
Otherwaise try Alt+F10 at start
Yeah, I see what you mean, but I’ve FFRed this PC before, and I deleted that other partition, reformatted it, and made it a part of the first one(BTW, my external optical drive was not a brick back then)… Err, maybe that wasn’t a good idea… 
OK that could be a problem - did you make a recovery disc ? If so you may be able to transfer that to a USB
Nope, no sir, :o :o… Uhm, is there any way to transfer an XP installation to USB? Maybe that would do it… ???
Found this quote
Mount your bootable ISO to an image drive. For this example I will use drive D: as the image drive, and drive E: as the flash drive. This is the command you use to create an exact copy of a disk on to another volume.xcopy D:*.* E: /s/e/f
This can be used for instance, to copy the Vista DVD to an appropriately sized USB flash drive to install the OS from there. I have tested this at work a few times and it installs in about the same amount of time, but without the worry of caring for the DVD (scratches) or having problems with the lens in the DVD drive reading the data. I should also note however, that the flash drive I used was not the fastest out there (it was a 4GB Patriot Signature flash drive as shown here)
Looks feasable - I’ll try it right after church, but I’ve got chores to do now… See ya later!
Well, just tried it…Error pops up on both PCs that I tried it:
" Disk error
Press any key to restart "
Any other suggestions? I’m kinda in the dark on this…
:-\
Did you set them to boot from USB - more to the point can the computers boot to USB
The other option is to slipstream the original windows CD with the latest service pack and then use that
