hi, i am trying to fresh format my windows vista (with a windows xp cd cus its all i have) but it doesnt work because... when i boot from the cd and unload all the files, it says 'starting windows' but then tells me to restart because theres probably a virus that forbids me from starting windows. and its true, theres a virus which is why im trying to reformat my computer... the virus doesnt let me do anything except buy the antivirus software, which i know it just a trick. please help... very important for what i need to do tomorrow .. oh god..

you should start the computer in safe mode and try a system restore.

I suggest you run the computer in Safe Mode and then run an Anti-Virus program. After that your problem should be fixed. If not, then proceed with a system restore.

I had the same problem on my computer some time back and I did the same things which Archit is suggesting. Worked for me!

hey buddy its the simple problem...uninstall the heavy applications and try the best antivirus.

I have nothing to add to the last posts, you should definitely start in Safe Mode and run an antivirus, and you should also try MalwareBytes anti-malware software, which will clean your computer from Malware as well as the viruses that your normal antivirus will find.

Hope I was of help.
