When you reformatted, did you erase all the previous partitions you had before? Seems like you might have some old OS files causing a problem. I run Windows Updates on every computer in my company.

You are supposed to do things in the right order, which is Anti-virus software after drivers, preferably from a CD so when you connect to the Internet, you don't catch a virus, like you already might have.
