...reformating and reloading my hard drive

That would have fixed it if done properly.

What did you "reload" onto your hard drive after formatting it? An image? A clone copy or just your personal data?

If it was one of the former two, you've brought over whatever virus (virii?) or spywarez that were the problem in the first place.

I still have my original disk that I reloaded. Then my Docs and Settings.
