I try to folow the instruction like you sugested but at the end you
have  go to hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\windows\curent
version \run
then delet in the right panel the value wininetd but there is no value wininetd
in the right pane .there is only a key winnitd on the left pane.on the
right pane I could only see serial id that they say to delete the
value .is that
mean to delet the word winitd on the right and the key winnitd on the
left.I do not see winnitd on the right

Please double-check that you do not have a value "wininetd" in the key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

And, please go ahead and delete the value "SerialID", found in:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WindowsRTS

And, delete the key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WindowsRTS\wininetd


If you do not find the value 'wininetd' in the Run key, make sure you
have deleted all of the infected files, and you will be fine.

you could startup the computer in safe mode , and then run the
anti-virus s/w or the backdoor removal tool .
