If you format the machine, then everything including the virus should be removed. Try AVG Anti-Spyware for spyware and trojans and AVG Anti-Virus 7.5, avast! or Anti-Vir (one I use). They all have free versions available.
Make sure to do the scans in Safe Mode. What current anti-virus program have you got?
