You don't have to or recommend erasing the hard drive THEN installing your OS. just put in the OS cd and install and choose complete, clean, destructive whichever is it on your system. But a trojan horse don't really do too much except seal information from you. Worms find the way in and VIRUSES destroy the computer.
