working on a cousins computer.... need help

[talontromper]

I have just come to the conclusion that this computer is infected with a virus like haxdoor.... but im not certain as to what can be done to remove this..... is formatting my only option?  Virus's like haxdoor insert themselves into the MBR, right? or am I wrong? Any help is welcome

Well here is a new rather odd symptom..... after windows completely loads the screen goes gray scale in color.... This is still a problem even in msconfigs diagnostic boot set up.... its not the monitor (just checked to see, used my laptop)

The drivers are up to date and i have yet to run the pgrms yet.... but as we speak im installing those will post in the malware section the logs under a new thead.

Any ideas as to what could cause this? The video card is good.... it was just installed a few months ago and its properly seated in the PCI-express slot
