You can try using Trend Micro's Housecall virus/spyware scan at http://housecall.antivirus.com. It's free to use, and I've seen it do well in the past to clean up an existing infection. After you get the system cleaned, I would recommend downloading the free version of AVG Antivirus from http://free.grisoft.com. That will help to keep your system clean in the future.

Everybody know about Sms , but do you know this.......4
Short Message Service
SMS appeared on the wireless scene in 1991 in Europe, where digital wireless
technology first took root. The European standard for digital wireless, now
known as the global standard for mobiles (GSM), included short messaging
services from the outset.
In North America, SMS was initially made available on digital wireless networks
built by early pioneers such as BellSouth Mobility and Nextel. In 1998, when the
buildout of personal communications service (PCS) networks based on GSM,
code division multiple access (CDMA), and time division multiple access (TDMA)
methods was completed, SMS enjoyed full-fledged deployment.
The point-to-point SMS provides a mechanism for transmitting short messages
to and from wireless handsets. The service makes use of a short message service
center (SMSC), which acts as a store-and-forward system for short messages. The
wireless network provides for the transport of short messages between the
SMSCs and wireless handsets. In contrast to existing text message transmission
services such as alphanumeric paging, the service elements are designed to
provide guaranteed delivery of text messages to the destination.
A distinguishing characteristic of the service is that an active mobile handset is
able to receive or submit a short message at any time, independent of whether or
not a voice or data call is in progress. SMS also guarantees delivery of the short
message by the network. Temporary failures are identified, and the short
message is stored in the network until the destination becomes available.
SMS is characterized by out-of-band packet delivery and low-bandwidth message
transfer. Initial applications of SMS focused on eliminating alphanumeric pagers
by permitting two-way general-purpose messaging and notification services,
primarily for voice mail. As technology and networks matured, a variety of
services were introduced, including electronic mail and fax integration, paging
integration, interactive banking, and information services such as stock quotes.
Wireless data applications include downloading of subscriber identity module
(SIM) cards for activation, debit, and profile-editing purposes.
2. Benefits of Short Message Service
In today's competitive world, differentiation is a significant factor in the success
of the service provider. Once the basic services, such as voice telephony, are
deployed, SMS provides a powerful vehicle for service differentiation.
The benefits of SMS to the service provider are as follows:
• increased call completion on wireless and wireline networks by
leveraging the notification capabilities of SMS
• an alternative to alphanumeric paging services
• enabling wireless data access for corporate users
• provision of value-added services such as e-mail, voice mail, and fax
mail integration; reminder service; stock and currency quotes; and
airline schedules
• provision of key administrative services such as advice of charge, overthe-
air downloading, and service provisioning
All of these benefits are attainable quickly with modest incremental cost, and
typical investment payback periods are less than six months.
The benefits of SMS to subscribers center around convenience, flexibility, and
seamless integration of messaging services and data access. From this
perspective, the benefit is to be able to use the handset as an extension of the
computer. SMS also eliminates the need for separate devices for messaging, as
services can be integrated into a single wireless device—the mobile terminal.

Formatting and re-installing is the last resort to just get rid of what may be one file, especially if you have a lot of info on your computer.
I recommend AVG free anti virus.
I use it and have gotten good results from it so far.
I also run checks from pit-stop online, do a search for pit stop and run the checks from there if you want to check it from outside your computer.

best solution for you is to remove your and os and reloading it.since restarting of system occurs when there is more no. of virus in the system.sometimes it may corrupt your operating system too.use anti-virus software after reloading.scan your system daily.
