Hello Ben,
You might also want to try and create a new administrator account and try to
delete or remove programs from that account, as infection might have
affected only your account. So many viruses on the Internet it is hard to
pinpoint which virus has actually affected your computer. And although, like
Ronnie mentioned the only way to get rid of the virus infection completely
is to format the drive and start all over again. But the downside to it, is
that it might just take too long. And there is no guarantee that you might
get another virus again. So I recommend just trying to fight off the virus
first (just to see if there is another way to get rid of the problems
completely) and then formatting the drive as the last resort.

Rishi
