Hmm.. When does that error appear? During Startup or just randomly?

I do suppose you have already seen your Startup Programs (using MSConfig AND CCleaner).

So try this:

Open Group Policy Editor (type gpedit.msc in Start->Run ), Click Windows Settings under Computer Configuration. Click 'Scripts'.. Double Click both Startup and Shutdown and see if there is a 'NewVirusRemoval.vbs' Entry there.

Also Check in User Configuration->Windows Settings->Scripts->Logon and Logoff.

In your Registry Editor, brwose to this key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
In the right pane, look for 'Userinit' key. It must look like this. No other entry. (Your system folder may be different). Delete any entry after the userinit.exe(most possibly you will have wscript.exe and NewVirusRemoval.vbs entries)
"Userinit"="V:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\userinit.exe"

The reason is that ur AV has removed the Virus but the entry to trigger the VBscript file was still left in comp. I suggest u use HijackThis anyday. :D Did u check system properties?

Scan ur C drive for n.vbe file. I think its still there in ur C drive :( . Try to delete that file using Winrar.

NO double click on first entry shown in above image i.e. userinit and remove everything after userinit.exe

Here's what to do, remove the red part
