    you don't need reformat!!!!!! role back your hard drive. go to ALL PROGRAMS, ACCESSORIES, SYSTEM TOOLS, SYSTEM RESTORE, then it will ask you if you want to restore your computer to an earlier date click yes. pick a date on the calender before you got the virus the click OK. it will restore the computer like the day you got the virus never happened.

    Take out the infected hard drive from your computer, and bring it to any tech shop. Hopefully, they might be able to delete the virus without re-formatting. Tech shops should have computers that many virus protection programs are installed on. They can connect your hard drive to their computer as the secondary drive, and perform full amount of virus protection programs to kill the virus. If you have a friend who builded him/her own computer, ask him/her.

    Download and install a good antivirus program. You can find a list here:

    Then scan your computer and delete all the infected files. Then you should be OK. Be sure you keep your antivirus program updated and also use a firewall!

    the best way is to re-format your system... about driver CDs, u can ask your friends for help to find the drivers from the internet.
