Help! My computer is completely screwed!

A couple of days ago, Adware.Ezula, Trojan.vundo, and several other Trojans infected my computer without me knowing. All these were self-installing viruses that give no warning or signs they are being installed until the Antivirus detects it and/or it starts to kick in.

Some technician guy came 2 days ago to fix it and installed like 200 Windows updates, so I thought it was gone for good.

After this, the internet has been painfully slow. Even my Gmail says it takes longer than usual to load. And many times, the pages that have always worked just start displaying "Page unable to be displayed" or something.

But today they're back! All of them! I get some random popups from svxela.com and nbjmp.com saying "Page cannot be displayed" so help.

Symantec and Spybot-S&D detect them but they are unable to remove them!
 
Yeah. Its called format and re install.

The only 100% solution to these types of things, I am afraid.
 
Yeah, you could guess I tried the removal tools...

Is formatting the only way?


Pretty much, the trojan never really goes away without formatting. It may 'hide' for awhile, but it WILL come back.

I went through a stretch where I re-formatted/ re-installed my system every week for about 2 months. Kept looking for hints & cheats, and got redirected to that one bad site, and it's over with. No use fighting it, you'll spend more time trying to defeat the problem than it takes to re-install everything. (but I do have most of my CD-keys and serials memorized now)

And be smart, partition your HDD, so you can put a bunch of your Documents & drivers on its own partition. Unless you have 2 HDD, and then just use the 2nd to put all your drivers. If you get hit again, you can back-up much quicker.
