The only downside to doing a clean install vs a repair is the fact that you will loose all the installed programs you have added from the previous install... I have found that if you use Malwarebytes with other tools like SuperAntiSpyware and Trojan Remover you can usually get rid of most viruses... This is of course only if you can download and or access them...

Usually a combination of tools are required. More and more recently, I've seen some very nasty viruses in which a full reinstall may not be required, but it's certainly recommended. In the same amount of time it would take you to remove the virus and then repair the operating system files, you could have... backed up all the data, reinstalled the OS, installed the updated drivers, reinstalled the applications and configured everything to use (email, etc) and then moved the data back over to the machine.

This is the best FREE program I have seen. I hope this helps others out there looking for resolution. Make sure to update it each time you go to run it as it updates the definition file daily.
