Reformating seems much easier and right after you do that get some anti-virus softwares. Best way in my opinion. Hope this helped
ur call on reformatting..but if u don learn how to get rid of it....or fix it..or even learn what it is to stop it..it will happen again...
get it about 3 weeks ago and from memory you have to manually delete some dlls in the windows\system32 directory after you have removed all the spywares using ad-aware and spybot in safe mode and with system restore turned off. search google for the dlls to delete as there are many variants.
