Malware routinely makes changes to registry settings, etc.  Removing a virus does 
not remove those changes.  On top of that.. No matter how many virus scanners you 
run, a moderately infected computer will not be clean of viruses.

The first thing people can do when your computer is infected is begin compiling and 
dropping code onto your PC that is completely unique and will never be detected by 
malware scanners.  There has to be other methods to find this type of stuff.  Most 
likely your registry is damaged, or a key file is damaged in some way.

I can clean most computers effectively but some are just a big waste of time when 
you can reformat and have an optimally running machine in half the time.  Solve all 
your problems.  It is a good learning experience to try and figure out why it does 
what it does, but ultimately you'll get to fixing that problem, and you will possibly 
find another one.  So, where does it end? :) 

The choice really is yours.. Depending on your patience and tenacity I guess.. :)
