u havent mentioned ur OS. assuming it is XP.
boot into safe mode with networking. download Spybot Search and Destroy and Adaware SE. Update their definitions and then scan ur system. remove all spyware infection. that should solve ur problem.

vivek, ur pc has been infected with the email Worm.Win32.Brontok. i sugest u use specialsed tools for its removal.

download this xclnt freeware brontok removal tool from *wirusy.antivirenkit.pl/en/szczepionki/Brontok.html and use it.

alternativelu u can also use brontok washer,also a small freeware tool which removes this worm and fixes the registry entry made it. *www.softpedia.com/get/Antivirus/Brontok-Washer.shtml

Well Zeeshan I think there is no need of reisntalling XP. Adware SE can fix the problem.
