I cant believe you guys have some spyware,.. and all of a sudden, you wanna reformat.
There are tons of ways/programs to remove spyware these days. Reformatting should be the last option.

sometimes reformating is faster and easier than taking the time time to clean out your whole PC.

It takes me AT MOST 2 hrs to backup, reformat, and download/install everything i had running beforeh:

This is what I used to get all the garbage off my PC. I have NO idea how this crap got on here, but I had 4 of Lavasofts highest rated on my hard drive. (VX, BookedSpace, BrowserAid, and Ebates MoneyMaker)

Ad-Aware does a good job running quick scans, Ewido Security Suite is the best I've ever used.

Be sure to follow the steps in the link above and you'll be cleaned up.
