Not sure why you did that, a few common things to help prevent you having to reload your pc.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/the-break-room/117401-new-msn-virus.html

Frequently scan with adaware, free program updates itself thatll stop most things, A virus program, I reccomend Pc Cillin if you have to buy one, AVG if you dont.

In the unlikely event that neither can do the job, reboot the pc keep pressing F8 until you get to the menu go in with safe mode. Goto run type in msconfig goto startup and just remove it, also find where the file is located and just delte it. Problem solved, most common spyware use that method, You shouldnt have any other problems, if you do contact me and ill personaly help you until weve got your computer running fine again!

Cheers
