    After you format the drive are you using a copy of the windows CD to reload the machine? Or a real CD from Microsoft?

      Both of these could be the issue here so it's hard to say.

        Buy a real copy of Windows and after formatting it make only one Admin account and the others should have user level access. Load a good antivirus and malware program.

        Use a router with a firewall to get on the web.
