When you wiped your computer, were you connected to the internet? Did you
reinstall using SP2? How did you wipe your system? Follow the steps in my
clean install link paying close attention to not connecting to the internet
before setting your firewall.
Are you installing software you downloaded from the internet?
If you truly formatted the hard drive, it is very likely you are getting re
infected by not following the advice to set your firewall before connecting
to the internet, or you could be getting it from infected software.
