Windows 2000, Computer won't shut down

I have Windows 2000 professional and was intruded by a program called mIRC (a chat room program) probably brought in through the firewall by my son (sound familiar?). Now I cannot get rid of the start up of that program window AND much more distressing, after stripping out a lot of junk, I cannot shut down. You try either from the start menu or from control, alt, delete and it says it is doing it but when you check status, nothing is happening and nothing does happen. What do I do? Reformat and start again or what? Thanks
