YOUR SYSTEM IS INFECTED!

[pjchi704]

When i turned on the computer, a screen shows up on my desktop saying "YOUR SYSTEM IS INFECTED! System has been stopped due to a serious malfunction.  Spyware activity has been detected.  It is recommended to use spyware removal tool to prevent...".  I ran AVG, malware, etc... and nothing works.  Should I reformat the hard drive and start all over with Windows XP?  Any help would be greatly appreciated?

Thanks,

Thank you for all your help.  I try to run a scan in safe mode but now I can't even boot the computer.  It keeps on rebooting every time after the windows xp logo.  I plan to move the hard drive to another computer and run the antivirus.  I will reply to the post once I get to it.  Thanks again.
