There have been several good responses on this thread (including the warning that the Master Boot Record on your drive might be infected, which would cause re-infection upon reboot even after you had formatted the primary partition).

But I'd like to address another angle: Are you sure you actually have the malware in question, or might you just be getting a false positive from your virus scanner? What are your "symptoms", if any, aside from the virus scanner raising a flag?
