Troubleshooting ProRat virus on Windows XP

I was having Microsoft windows XP operating system installed on my desktop. I was also having Norton antivirus with the latest update so that my system could be protected. My operating system firewall was also turned on. From last few days I am facing problem with my system. My reginv.dll file which is located in the system32 directory was corrupted due to ProRat virus also my antivirus was inactive and firewall was turned off. I need solution providing information about ProRat virus and steps to remove it.

The ProRat virus copies itself to the hard disk. It resembles system32.exe directory. ProRat virus acts like a backdoor program which can provide attacker or hacker to gain full control of your system. it automatically opens the port through which the hacker can connect. We can remove ProRat virus from the system very easily by making use of antivirus and other cleaner software.
