Thank you, but I made a huge mistake

First I just wanted to say thank you so much for the wealth of information you have on your site. I got the bestfriends.scr virus last night on my office computer, and I have been trying all morning to get rid of it. I downloaded adaware, spybot, and hijackthis, and when i finally ran hijackthis, I deleted the two files that had anything to do with AIM. But when I restarted my computer, I had no internet connection. What did I DO?! Since this is the computer at my office, I was trying to resolve it w/out asking the computer techs at work (don't want ot get in trouble for IM) but I'm afraid I REALLY messed up. Does anyone have any idea what I could've done? Thank You so much.

    HiJackThis makes backups of everything deleted. If you ran HiJackThis without placing it in its own folder, you're going to have a tough time locating the backups. You'll need to run the program again the same way you did it the first time and see if it will locate the backups for you. If you need a walkthrough, you can get me on AIM at skwitko.
