After Marianna's Lead, You May Wish to.....

run a error & disk repair to clean up any sys files corrupted by the trojan. Here's the easiest method I know (courtesy of Roddy32):

Disk/repair (like SFC)
Left click on My Computer(open)
Right click on "C" or your OS drive if another letter.
Left click Properties and then click Tools Tab.
Left click on "Error Checking"> Check Now.
Left click to enter check mark in BOTH boxes offered.
Left click on "Start".
Computer will have to reboot to begin repairs.
Just leave alone (you're locked out anyway) 'til process finished.
In regular mode will take about 1 Hour (more/less)
In Safe Mode about 2 hours.
If computer normal after process complete you might want to create a new
restore point and Label it POST ERROR REPAIR.
Hope this gets it for you. This is based on using an onboard copy of sys
files if copy is ok.
If copy is corrupted, it may tell you to insert XP Home/Pro or SP2 disk to get new,
clean copy inserted. Good to have disk at hand. Good Luck!! Happy

In the case of a RAT, it was probably good to do that reformat.

To check your ports, there is some reading here:
