Partition, Partition, Partition (magic 8)

The virus you said is in your Windows, system32 folder. The problem with these is that it has registry keys, and reinstalls even after cleaning it, and the registry. It has a bunch of dummy files where it rebuilds from. So reformat is the best way to do it. Since the file is in Windows, reformat just the partition of your system. If you don't have more than one partition, or don't have enough space, get a program like Partitionmagic and do that before reinstall
