Format and reinstall would probably be the quickest way since you already know you have virus issues. Other than that, at this point you almost need to remove the drive and disinfect it using another pc... if you can find someone willing to connect your infected drive to their pc - no small task there. Good luck.

2 options, if you can, first go to run and type msconfig, click startup tab and uncheck everything but the ones for AVG, hit apply, restart PC, then go online to www.trendmicro.com on the left side it has for home users "free tools", download housecall 32bit or 64bit depending on OS, run housecall to remove spyware, malware, virii... this will effectively fix several problems, then uninstall MSN redownload and install, 2nd option is to hit alt andf10 when starting laptop, this will bring up the restore option to restore the image as if you just got the laptop, of course this option you lose everything on laptop that is not backed up.
