A good virus removal program like McAfee or Norton will rid your computer of viruses, but if you continue to open mail that contains viruses, then they will come back. There are some anti-virus programs that check all mail attachments and clean them for viruses. I am sorry for your problem. Please get another program or don't open mail that has not been checked for viruses. I check mine every few days.

I use these programs to keep my computer running. Keep from having to format your hard drive, as you will lose all of your information.
Do a search for your viruse using http://www.ask.com

3 more possible scenarios. If using some removable media (CD, external HDDs, flash drives etc) it’s possible you simply reinfecting yourself by connecting infected media. It’s also possible that after format you going to some site which infects you by visiting it alone (especially if using IE, doesn’t block scripts etc). 3rd scenario: could be some fishy program which you perhaps install after format.
Sometimes obvious ones are easiest to miss...

if they come back after you have formatted your computer, it could be that your virus is in your bios. do a google search on the virus you list to see how it behaves, and see where it is likely to spread. this will point you in the right direction in trying to clean it

OR GET A MAC. No viruses, no need for AV.

some viruses copy themselves on to your boot disk and you will have to completely reformat your hard drive using command prompts
