| Well, mcaffe sucks and adaware isn't for viruses so that's how it got on your computer, anyway did you try booting into safe mode? |
ditto that. Use Nod32. Symantec corporate edition is okay too.
Also, If all else phails you can always back up your stuff to an external drive or another computer and do a wipe and clean install.

So try doing the following:
1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. Type "command.com" , and then press Enter. (A DOS window opens.)
3. Type the following:
"cd\"
"cd \windows"
Press Enter after typing each one.
4. Type copy "regedit.exe regedit.com" and then press Enter.
5. Type "start regedit.com" and then press Enter.
6. Navigate to and select the key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\open\command
7. In the right pane, double-click the (Default) value.
8. Delete the current value data, and then type:
"%1" %*
Tip: Type the characters: quote-percent-one-quote-space-percent-asterisk.
9. Close Regedit utility.

the "funny" thing is that i just switched from a harddrive that had been virused but i hadnt gotten around to transferring everything to the new one.
edit: com files dont work so, command.com doesnt work. i tried other ways to get to cmd but none of them worked.. on the website you gave it listed the files that i couldnt use but dat was not not listed, so either it lists only major file types or it doesnt have the specificvirus i have. although since both this and the pretty park virus give the exe/shell/open/command as the main area to be fixed, i assume that WAS what was ruined. although at another glance the page says that a random string should popup at startup which does happen.

Kinda expensive, but worth it.
Also, oh teh shits @ not being able to use com files either. :o
Maybe you *should* do a clean install. I like to reinstall windoze on all my machines every 6 months to a year anyways. It gets bogged down you know, windows is just like that. :P
I keep all my crap organized so it's fairly painless when I do it. You might also try booting to a different OS. Download one of the linux distros and get rid of the virus from there. It only affects the windows os it looks like.

EDIT: also, are you sure what you have is the pretty park virus? O_O
I thought that was like, a weaksauce email virus that sends emails to other people with the virus and stuff. Easy to balete. You say the virus you have won't let you run an executable? o.o
