Thinstaller taking over media player

Can anyone tell me why my media player won't open.
I recently had a virus and had to download msn messenger again as it
dissapeared completley. Now when I try to open media player and my firewall
tells me that a program called thinstaller is trying to access the web.
What should I do

Win XP Pro
Zone alarm
Spysweeper
search and destroy
adaware 6
frayed nerves.

Thanks

It's a trojan.

Another possibility is to borrow a second computer with
anti-virus software on it, and put that HDD in it as a slave, and run the
anti-virus software to clean it up.

Ok so I took your advice guys, ran THe Cleaner and it deleted a virus called
"small" which it found in 6 different locations
I had to download both msn messenger and media player again but thinstaller
is still there cos my firewall (zone alarm) tells me it is trying to call
out.
so I reboot and I got this popup asking me if I want ringtones for my
mobile.
Any ideas on this please.

 

Damn! Why can't people follow instructions?
