Hello JR,
I don't think you can use a anti-virus program on formated Hard-drive, because of the fact any anti-virus program is checking for a procedure as for exemple to check first your memory RAM to see if there is any active unknown run, then the boots sectors of any Hard-drive you have to check if the FATS are correct or corrupted.
You need first to reinstall all your windows system, then to reinstall a anti-virus program of your choice....
Better to think as well to download a Anti-Trojan's program too as for exemple Trojan Remover 4.90 ( http://www.simplysup.com/tremover/details.html
you will be then safe.....to restart with a clean computer.
