Put in the back up discs that came with it and they should start automatically.

Do a format mate. Make sure you back up your data first though

If you cant format it mate, download and run this.

If you have a lot of malware then it's best to just reformat. If you want to have a go at fixing it, then try these instructions, but otherwise you'd be best off reformatting like everyone else has said, and keep away from the sites that're giving you the nasties

That's cool mate.
Limewire is probably the best way to get an infection on your PC, and any P2P software is bound to get you at some point.
