Implementing security personnel practices to prevent future infections
Pure opinion on my part:
The hackers who wrote the exploit have more than probably put it in all kinds of places. You miss one hiding place and your machine is still subject to disruption. You have a VERY small chance of purging everything.
Do this instead:
1. Restore the system to a known good backup
2. Implement security personnel practices to prevent future infections
3. Implement malware prevention code - there are freebies like ClamAV. See ClamavNet
4. Maintain a good periodic backup routine with mass storage devices kept securely out of harm's way.
