Got hit by w32/Pate.b virus!

I must admit, I've been "Blessed" in that a major virus has never given my puter any problems. But late this morning...WHAM, I had like 1500 infected files. Sigh.

I'm using McAffee to try & get rid of it, but it's a MOFU! It HIDES, usually in a .tmp file, and unless I want to re-install windows (which I don't), I'm not sure what I'm going to do.

Anyone have any experience dealing with this virus that could recommend something other than McAfee to get rid of it?

Thanks!
