Because I didn't pay the virus to undo itself.

False question, I don't.

Of course this may not be for you. You can always just try to figure out something for the desktop if that suits you, but I don't think that there's many people apart from the writer of that original virus that would be able to help you with info about just what it's changed, and how to get that back.
Because I think Avira Anti-virus quarantined all the files, but quarantining/removing the files just not necessarily undo what the files did prior.
