I would think it would have to be easier to go back to a restore point before the infection - there should be one (a restore point is generally created during each "patch Tuesday"). I'm just surprised that a) you got it in Vista (people might bitch, but UAC has protected me very well with no AV on my system) and b) that such a bastard of a program hasn't been picked apart and an uninstall routine developed. If can restore back or need to reinstall I'd suggest setting up your machine to "base" as much as possible then doing a backup. I generally use Norton Ghost for this but I've actually really to come to like the Vista built in backup (backups are saved as virtual hard disk files which can be loaded into any VM - pretty slick). If you get hit again you may still have to start fresh but not as fresh as a clean install.
