Yeah just put the windows cd and restart
Then while booting it should say something like Press any key to boot from cd . . .
If it doesn't say that you need to go into your BIOS and change the boot order
Best boot order is usually the A:\ (floppy) then d:\ or e:\ (cd-rom) then c:\ (hdd)...

Best of luck to you... Also remember to have your XP cd key or you will be SOL during the installation...

I can usually get WindowsXP (all updates from the net), MS Office 2003, Adobe CS, Macromedia MX 2004, and then a few odds and ends other apps I need installed in the full time...  I do this formatting crap day in and day out, so it's like second nature now...

Keep a field disk... I have a 512mb flash drive that I store all of the setup files for things that I need (Mozilla, mIRC, video codecs, Nero, etc etc)... I've done the formatting so often that I can usually have my whole computer backed up and completely updated with all programs in under an hour and a half...  :)

Did you drop the bad file into the .exe file and then reboot?

If not that's what you have to do... If you did that then what is happening is there is more spyware than just that file... Something else is finding that the file has been deleted and then creating it all over again once it has been deleted... Sounds like it might be time to back up and format...
