Don't you have a current version antivirus installed? The MS malicious
tool remover is a very limited program not meant to substitute for a
full-featured av. Here are general malware removal steps:

If you don't have an av installed, start by running Sysclean as
described on the site above and then get a full-featured av, install
it, update it, and do a thorough scan. Do all scans for viruses and
malware in Safe Mode.
