Exclamation --- TrojanDownloader:Win32/Fakeinit PROBLEM ---

Dear Analysts,

I desperatly need your help.
My work-Laptop has been infected by one of my worst nightmares.
A Virus that inflicts such damage that my laptop had to shut itself
down to prevent further damage.

Fortunately I have a spare, but low-spec computer left to ask you guys
for help...

I freaked out at the moment I saw my Windows Defender reporting a severe
virus called: "TrojanDownloader:Win32/Fakeinit"
I clicked: "Resolve" and it said that it has been completely removed...
Then I restarted my computer to check if everything was alright. One minute
after logging into my account my computer gave me a frightning blue screen
with an error I can't recall for its length...

I did try "System Restore" in safe mode and retried it later on in normal mode
but no succes. (Maybe this information is crucial for the restoration process?)

I tried to run my computer a couple of times, but the same thing occured.
Then I ran it in "Safe Mode with Network" to check things out, that worked.
I immediatly ran upstairs to do some research on the virus and then I came
to this site where this very same problem had been resolved:


http://www.techsupportforum.com/security-center/virus-trojan-spyware-help/resolved-hjt-threads/336015-two-blue-screens.html


I had no clue what happened in this topic. I noticed that they were able to
copy their data from one to another to show you guys the process...?
I recognized the problem and symptomes and I assumed that I have the same
thing active virus...


I have no idea what to do next. I am pretty confident when it comes to
computers, but what I saw in that topic really blew my mind.

I have no idea of what to expect, but I will do everything step by step with
you to get this problem solved. I will ask if I don't understand something.
I don't mind if you refer to the link I gave here, because that helped me
understand the situation...

My laptop is everything to me, I hope you guys can help me out.
