Don't make format. Fight to the last drop of blood. Do those things:

1. Download Ad-Aware 2008 (really helpful program for removing malware/adware, saved my butt several times, some ppl like Spybot, but I preffer this one) and Kaspersky 2009 Trial (in many tests it is recommended as the most effective anti virus, personally I use this one and I am satisfied)
(both are free, at least for 30 days, lol)

2. Update bases for both of them - it's also free.

3. Disconnect your comp from the internet

4. Use "emergency mode" option (press F8 when codepage appears and select it in menu) - emergency option is needed to prevent this "thing" in your filesystem from disturbing access to registry.

5. Go to Run and start regedit

6. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MAC HINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run key and then to HKEY_CURRENT_U SER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run paste here the screenshot showing what entries are there.

7. Tell me what do you have in "Autostart", "Startup" or whatever it is called in your lang ver. of windows

8. Run Windows again, this time in normal mode. Run Ad-Aware, go to "scan" section and select "smart scan". It's really useful option that avoids scanning the whole filesystem, but reveals most common "bitches" inside your machine.

9, After scanning with ad-aware (neutralise all threats, if it discovers any) run Kaspersky 2009 scanning to clean up everything else.

10. When KAV finishes his job, delete all temp files from webbrowsers.



That is the most effective way to get rid of most common, unwanted software.

If you post those screens from registry, we might solve the problem w/o scanning, cause there are many vaccinations designed for specified, one type of virus.

I use a program called Your UnInstaller 2008.  It gets rid of programs completely and removes registry keys left behind. See if you can download a free trial or something. I use that all the time to safely get rid of programs i dont want anymore. Registry mechanic can also help to remove keys left behind. A combo of these two and I think you'll be good once again.

Agreed. Those two are really good choice.

Actually, it didn't work.  It went out on me last night and I have no viruses now.  So it has to be the fucking power supply.  How can I test it to see?

Checked the system with KAV? Maybe it's not a adware, but a virus...

And one more thing: check inside your computer tower, if hard discs aren't connected to the same data-cable as cd-roms or some cables aren't connected properly to the motherboard. My friend had similar problem caused by this...

In the end: how to test your power supply? Google. :) I have no idea how to do that.

Edit: Now I know.  ;D Check those sites:
http://en.kioskea.net/faq/sujet-323-how-to-test-your-computer-s-power-supply
http://www.duxcw.com/faq/ps/ps4.htm
http://www.ehow.com/how_4563487_test-computer-power-supply-multitester.html

Edit2: Some ppl had simmilar problem, but their computers were heating because not enough fresh air was coming into the comp... But if you say you are cleaing it all the time I suppose it's not the problem.
However, some ppl also noticed problem with immediate computer switch off after overclocking some hardware like cpu or gpu.
