But ur OS is the stuff affected by virus. Why don't you try a patch for the virus, if you know which one it is or you can download free anti-virus first and try that. If that does not work, it will at least tell you the virus name. Then you can search for a patch for the same.
Patch: Is a specialized virus removal tool
Free Anti-virus: www.grisoft.com has AVG, a good one I use.

Sorry but just deleting the files and leaving the OS will not work!
Most viruses hijack the operating system by changing system files.
It will be better downloading a free trial anti virus program, and let it delete them for you.

Get the OS bootable disk and reboot from the CD. Once you do that, you can freshly install the OS.

Go to Programs, accessories, control prompt.........
This will bring up a box with the C:\ prompt.
Next to the C:\ type format C:/s
That will format your C drive and leav the OS on there.

Well if you wipe your hard drive your OS goes too.
Have you tried an online virus scanner?
