I would suggest a format too but only if there are no files on the system you can't afford to lose. What operating system are you running? If its XP you could boot from the CD and during the install process tell it to rip the windows folder out and reload all the software.
If you re-install windows I would suggest you don't connect the PC to the internet until you have installed a firewall and up to date anti-virus.
