Everyone gets some viruses, some more, some less, but intelligent people find out about them and erase them, many don't.

I actually haven't been able to remove the complete virus, some parts of it remain but workable around. No software could find and remove them.

These remain:
-Windows' DNS cache is poisoned, so I disabled it and it queries DNS servers directly
-On every boot, proxy options are changed to a localhost daemon, however the daemon is disabled and internet settings have to be changed on every boot to disable the proxy
