What a coincidence. I just recently had a major computer problem myself. I had to format my hard drive and stuff. I am glad to say that my computer is working better than before though.

Anyway Joshy, Death recommended these programs to me when I had spyware on my comp. They work really well and are free.

Stinger is a stand-alone utility used to detect and remove specific viruses. It is not a substitute for full anti-virus protection, but rather a tool to assist administrators and users when dealing with an infected system. Stinger utilizes next generation scan engine technology, including process scanning, digitally signed DAT files, and scan performance optimizations.
McAfee Stinger

Spybot - Search & Destroy can detect and remove a multitude of adware files and modules from your computer. Spybot can also clean program and Web usage tracks from your system, which is especially useful if you share your computer with other users. Modules chosen for removal can be sent directly to the included file shredder, ensuring complete elimination from your system. And for advanced users, it allows you to fix Registry inconsistencies related to adware or malicious program installations. The handy online update feature ensures that Spybot always has the most current and complete listing of adware, dialers, and other uninvited system residents.
Version 1.2 adds a variety of new and updated features, including an immunization option that allows you to block many spyware downloads before they get to your computer, and improved detection mechanisms for morphing files.Spybot Search and Destroy

Hope this works for you.

Ad-Aware 6.0 is a great free and simple spyware remover, try that if you're still stuck.

I was going to post some lame-ass problem, but I figured: Hey, let's not bother them with it. Instead, I have a free Virus Scanner for you: http://www.free-av.com

Works for me, great for removing trojans.
