And if you have a broadband Internet connection, after you reformat and install, GET ALL THE WINDOWS UPDATE PATCHES!!! (It will take multiple passes to get them all) and install the Microsoft Spyware Removal Beta (http://www.microsoft.com/spyware/) which BLOCKS spyware/malware as well as removing them...

Formatting won't help you if you have a MBR multipartitious virus there. You have to delete the MBR and recreate the partitions. Erase the MBR as described here.
