worm virus

[eshort]

my nephew was palying with my machine this afternoon-appears he downloaded the denial of service virus--as when i bootup, i get the "service will be terminated in... seconds window"---i cant access internet now with this machine.

it has XP-prof.

what is the quickest resolution for this?

Tried to FDISK the drive for a complete xp reinstall-but wont do ther FDISK or FORAMT either (using NTFS system).

help!!!
