re-installed xp due to a virus... now unable to download and run the exe

I re-installed using the partition recovery/repair due to obtaining avirus that I couldn't get rid of. Probably not the best thing to do... I now can not download and run exe games or something else...

Help, please

This may or may not be something you can fix on your own (in other words, it can get tricky and involved).

First of all, it is extremely important to know the name of the malware you have. For example, if you have the malware installed in "The Security Protection", this guide should help you:

You will notice that you need a lot more that only run MBAM.

In addition, you will probably need to run several times, restarting your PC between the two.

In order to repair the damage, this should help:

Unfortunately, using the recovery partition (However, you never haven't indicated that you did exactly), can be complicated even more your situation. The good news is that as long as you save all your important data, you can always wipe your drive and start clean.
