Reformatting the hard drive (not just reinstalling Windows) will get rid of MOST viruses, but please be sure to try less drastic solutions first. :-)

most virus / trojans can be got rid of with a full system scan

boot in safe mode.. tap f8 on boot
scan then..
also u maybe need to disable system restore also
