Trojan messed up my admin account

[ControlAltDelete]

Hey guys i need a bit of help, their was around 374 viruses found on my PC (MALMWARE) and 2 trojans, all of them had been removed but it scared my pc, my default Administrator account is called "Admin", but the trojan some how changed my Administrator account (ADMIN) in to a normal standard user, then it created a new account called "Administrator" which is now my current administrator, how do i change my original "admin" account back into administrator and delete the Administrator account the trojan created??

The account Administrator cannot be deleted. Give it a STRONG password to increase security.

System Restore to prior the malware attack? Alternatively you can fiddle with the HK_Users keys in the Registry reconfiguring the user accounts and their permissions or run a Windows Repair (using the boot disc)

How can you trust anything on that computer again? If your wife/gf pomped 374 guys would you give her a wash and be good to go?

hehe @ rorz0r..and dont forget to partition your hdd to keep your OS apart from your files.

Also, use a Limited account for daily use. The little extra effort to install apps will give you time to think about where you downloaded the apps from.
