perhaps you can get a internet security software to scan for virus, adware and spyware .
i recommand you to try CA Internet Security Suite. It provides comprehensive protection against viruses, hackers, identity thieves, spyware, spam and other online threats that can jeopardize your privacy, your data, and your PC's performance.
you can get a more detailed introduction about CA Internet Security software.

I think you are having severe problems with your machine and you are unable to turn on and turn off things rightly in it, Copy the update file of the same Antivirus from your friend's pc and then download and install it, if the problem persists install the windows again and immidiately after installing install an updated new antivirus from the web/new antiviruscd/other computer. Im sure this is gonna work.

try downloading the trial version of ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite from www.zonelabs.com. Update its virus data and scan your PC with it. It works well for me...But beware the trial version only lets you use for 15 days. After killing the virus, you have to install a new. free antivirus s/w

Did you know you can get this thing called a FIREWALL and this other thing called a VIRUS SCAN and this other thing called ANTISPYWARE? And did you know that if you had these things and kept them updated and LEARNED the correct ways to use them that you would never have a problem like this? Did you know it is not just recommended but a MUST? Did you know if you go online unprotected, you're gonna get pregnant!?!?!? good luck to ya and your wallet! :-) 40 bucks then would've saved you HOW MUCH now?

You can reformat, but you will lose everything on the machine. Avast usually works pretty well, make sure its updated, and let it run a Boot Time scan instead of a regular scan.

The least option you have is to format your computer, try first using other antivirus software if you have other than avast.. You can also scan your pc free from: http://www.kaspersky.com/service
or download free avg anti virus from:

Lets just hope that it doesnt damage your boot sector.
