two files in my registry:
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\REGINV.DLL and
C:\WINDOS\system32\winkey.dll have been infected by trojan. Virus software
cannot delete or repair them even during boot-time scan. When I first got the
virus it was not really affecting normal operation, just annoying virus
alerts all the time. Although now, a lot of programs are freezing during
install or loading, and i get virus alerts almost every time i use a
microsoft program (outlook, explorer, etc.).
Is there anyway I can get rid of these two files and/or this virus without
spending money?

Google for trojan removal tools and try the free online scanners you will
find as a result of your search. McAfee and TrendMicro both offer such
services. Then make sure you are protecting your system by using updated
firewall, anti-virus and spyware software.

See if you can follow the instructions here:
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/backdoor.prorat.html

If not, then what about your own virus scanner support page?
