computer may run slow because of many other reasons. viruses are not the only cause of slow computer performance.
run anti-virus and anti-spyware scans to check if your machine is infected. reinstalling windows will help for sure, but the reinstall is not really necessary.
maybe you have too many programs installed on your computer. you may have too programs set to start on boot. there might be too less space left on c drive. when was the last time you defragmented your computer? all these things may slow a computer considerably.
