Yes it is very good thing that your found the virus and finally you deleted the virus. Mostly when I face this problem and directly reinstall my window so it was totally hectic process for me. Now I have got very ideas about the deletion of such types of the viruses. For windows XP I removed the recently installed softwares so that I can get rid of the viruses.

Well, thats why should scan something with your Anti-Virus before opening it, especially if its illegal when you download music or movies from torrent sites. 5 minutes for scanning mean nothing to the hours spent trying to contain the virus

Good job getting rid of it soon. But have you made sure that it hasn't infected any of your other files? Once I had a similar worm which disabled my internet connection. I was able to get rid of it and just to be safe I re-formatted my XP installation. But when I scanned with an AV Program, it detected over 1000 infections! The original worm was deleted but it left behind so many infections running silently 
So use a good anti-virus program to run a complete system scan and make sure there aren't any traces of the virus left.
