Hi,
try
- avast’s BART-CD: http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_bart_cd.html
- a CLEAN, write-protected Win-Start-Disk & F-Prot for DOS: www.f-prot-com
- www.centralcommand.com → Download → AV-Boot-CD
(All the above need to be downlaoded/burned on another, Clean PC of course)
Google is your friend… → here’ a removalTool for spaces (I didn’t check it out though…)

especially the section on how to secure your system better…
Glad to hear that you are up and running again.
I would echo what whocares said, read that thread and some of the others at the top of each of the forums (home/pro, general, virus & worms and off-topic), the ones with a folder icon with a pin through it.
These are sticky and are always at the top of each forum (so they are easier to find) as they contain useful reference information.
