I'd wipe the disk, and re-install the OS.
I'd use a lowlevel utility to wipe the disk. You could just re-format, or you could erase the information with eraser http://www.heidi.ie/eraser/

You can get a copy of Ubuntu for one. Thats a free OS that they will send to you on a disc if you need it. Or have someone else download it and burn the image to cd (if you can't do it yourself on your laptop) so you can format or delete the partition and re-partition it (a lot of extra work i know but i've had a system so messed up it had to be done) for a fresh install of Ubuntu or like the other guy said If you have a sticker with a windows key on it, you could use anyones cd or even download an illegal copy off a torrent site. You'll be using a legal key so it'll be genuine at least. If not, then thats your decision to use a downloaded copy.

Run the McAffee and other scans again.
Print out the log file.
Restart in safe mode.
Very carefully, manually remove each entry in the registry which matches the logfile lists of suspected malware.
When you are finished, kill all processes except the explorer.exe
Do a full scan disk of your drive.
Do a defrag.
Be sure to disable all other processes except explorer.exe and what programs I have listed.
Go to add/remove programs.
Remove the programs that have caused you trouble. If you have to, manually remove the programs.
Go to system restore.
Restore to a point prior to the events that caused trouble.
Update your system.
restart again in normal mode.
Only a suggestion.

Have you been disk cleaning in Safe Mode? If you don't, you could miss a self-executable file which will continue to load every time you start Windows.
