Opposite occurred for me in the past. Must be better now.
Currently trying Dr.Web Antivirus based on the walk throughs for this one. I'll try MSSE afterwards and reformat if I don't give enough of a shit this weekend.

I heard Kaspersky was among the best of paid AV programs, but I'm not so sure anymore since no one has mentioned it...

Try ad-aware. I remember when i had some hellish virus and none of the anti-virus progs i tried could do the job.
Then the program thats NOT a anti-virus did it easy..
I lost all faith in anti-virus after that.
Not to mention that anti-virus progs for some reason wanna delete things thats NOT viruses. I dont get it..

If the virus has infected the MBR you can easily re-create the MBR using the vista startup disk -> repair your computer -> command prompt -> bootrec /fixmbr

MSSE? I've heard of it, never really tried it. Might give it a nice roll and see. I'm still considering my options prior to a total reformat. Maybe I'll see which ones AVs are actually good. (I've had issues with nod32 in the past, but this time it was actually not bad)

MSSE is pretty good at catching/stopping malware. Its settings are lacking though.
