It means that the removal went oke, for 3 friends of friends computers.
I either install Avg or Avast, with Winpatrol and the runtime part of
Spybot(Teatimer).
Occasional scan with Spybot and Adaware and RootkitRevealer.exe
(Sysinternals MS).
For 2 or 3 dangerous viri, a removal tool(free) from macafee has done 
wonders, when I need one, google most of the times knows the tool.
Current score on my comp: One rootkit malware killed by macafee tool
in the last two years,origin and source of contamination unknown.
XP Pro SP3, semi-auto update(I decide when and what.)
