Backup what's important for files...set bios to boot order where cdrom is 1 or 2, then boot to cd and delete partition and create new one with NTFS formatting.
For antivirus, best for "virus in the wild"(misnomer means known virus) at
best known testing site VB100, Nod32 for the last 16 years, when Avg failed to pass all but last 2 years, the first of which passed only for XP, and not for 98, me or 2000. I would not want to leave fate of my ship with free antivirus, afterall my pc wasn't free!
I also think to try to use one program for viirus and spyware is by it's name a mistake. I use Spywareblaster to keep out spyware and Spybot to catch and scan what it does not (which is seldom anyting) and they are free by contributory donation if you like.
That is what I put on client's machines and I never go back for spyware or virus problems ever! You can Google Nod32, Spywareblaster and Spybot. You will not regret it.
