    Give it a try to AVG. Maybe it works for you.

    I am sure this is not virus, this is some kind of malicious spyware removal tool.

    Then format it as you said you have tried everything and reinstall windows (backup your important softwares on cd or on external HDD).

    It seems to be an adware. Try this, it may help.
    I am strictly against reformatting the hard drive unless its a critical and unrecoverable error.
