Well I can see you situation, but alas its a lot faster and easier to use the smitfraud fix than to do it manually.
In fact I did one of these just today manually, I removed privacy_danger which was dropped by privacy protector and of course the trojans and adware that also crippled that poor laptop.

I booted into a pe environment similar to bartpe and pulled up a file explorer then started looking at all file stamps that were suspiciously new. In the case of this computer march 27, 2008 is when the infections hit. So anything from a few days prior to today pretty much got deleted. There are some exceptions such as the wpa.dbl file which has a timestamp of the current day but is a valid file. Too wrap up, I deleted around 2 or 300 of these trojans, and adware files in this way which takes time and is not recommended for the novice or telling someone to do over the phone if they havent done it before. Always check out the files name and its properties for signatures before deleting.

After the above steps, its time to boot into safe mode and use the av/as software to clean up the rest. Deletion of temp files, and startup entries is best to do in the PE environment but can be done in safe mode.
