Welcome Kimmern88
Here's removal instructions from Norton for the W32.Pinfi virus:

Another possibilty, since you've already formatted your hard drive, is to perform a low-level format. You need to get a low level formatting utility from the manufaturer of your hard drive (i.e. for Maxtor visit www.maxtor.com, get MaxBlast). Low level formatting fills your hard drive with all zero's and returns it to "like new" condition. No virus can survive a low-level format.
P.S. Viruses cannot infect RAM. They can be memory resident and load as soon as your system boots, but system memory is cleared as soon as power is removed.
