hi could anyone please help or email me at email removed.

my computer has been acting REALLY slow lately im on windows xp. I reformatted the hd due to the slowness but still it stayed slow. I kept reformatting but no luck. I decided to scan my registry and hard disk for viruses and spyware and loads was detected despite the formatting of the hd. I would like to know how to do a full clean reformat of the hard disk so its becomes fully clean with no undeletable spyware/virus. I tried a DOS reformat aswell no luck!!! <_< i would be very grateful if anyone could help me thank you!

I removed you email address for your privacy. We have spam bots that roam around the forum looking for email address to nail with spam.

Your computer has a number of spyware programs that we need to remove. For more info on spyware see the Spyware FAQ link in my signature.

Let's start with a couple free programs.

Ad-aware. Open Ad-Aware and use the Check for updates now link. Download and accept the latest reference file. When finished click the Start button. When done scanning, the Abort button will change to Next. Click the Next button. Right-click in the Scanning Results window and click "Select all objects". Then click the "Next" button and confirm that you want to delete the selected entries.

Spybot Search & Destroy Download and install. Start Spybot S&D using the "Spybot-S&D (easy mode)" link from your Start menu . Click the Search for updates button, if any are found then click the Download Updates button. After all updates are downloaded, click the Check for problems button. When the scan is complete, place a check next to anything marked in red, then click the Fix selected problems button. You may need to run Spybot S&D multiple times to remove all infections.

When finished, Reboot your computer. Finally, reply to this post with a new HiJackThis log so we can look for any nasties that may have been missed. <_<

You have malware we need to fix, but first you need to apply Windows Critical updates. Without critical updates, you're wide open to re-infection, and we're both just wasting our time.
Click here: http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/
-or-
Order if you're on dial-up, order a free CD here:
http://www.microsoft...default810.mspx

Please download everything except SP2. Microsoft advises that malware be cleaned up before SP2 is installed.

After you've downloaded the windows updates, we'll get after it and get your computer fixed up. <_<
