Default Remnants of attack

Got hit bad: viruses, trojans, malware, hijack, you name it...after my
grandson "used" the machine... I had no choice but try to "fix" it!!!

Disconnected from the SP and did a System Restore to the day before
and ran the following first in safe mode, Why? dont know. Ad=Aware SE: had
1 running process, 1 process in reg., and several lesser "things": all
removed.
Ran Spyboot S&D: all ok
Ran Stinger: an hour and 161,476 files later: nothing.
Ran HiJackThis: g got a big log (well not that big) and kept it.
Did a complete thorough Virus Scan.

Anything else I could do to improve the speed a little bit, a little bit;
it is slower than "before". also are these files now quarantined genuine WIN
Me= lmgliz.txt, vqzcla.dat.
Also (hate to ask because of the previous question about the Clipboard
Viewer), but the Recycle Bin icon shows full and theres nothing in it, even
if I try to dump something, cant find anything ressembling it in a search.
As always tks in advance.
