Try downloading from http://www.winampheaven.da.ru if you can't get it to work.

The assumption that reformatting gets rid of all viruses is totally invalid. They could have infected your boot sector and still reside on your computer.

Yes, absolutely!
Reformatting does NOT get rid of boot sector, memory or dos resident viruses.

You guys were right. There was a CIH virus in my boot sector. Actually, 202 files were infected. =) I used CIH cleaner from the link you provided. Everythings fine and dandy now. Thank you all for all your prompt and informative responses, i dont know what i wouldve done without it. Thanks a million.
