i have the spaces virus. where the hell did it come from? i have a firewall up, and downloaded programs such as AOL, AIM, Morhpeus, MusicMatch, etc. Programs which I've downloaded before...could they be attached to one of them? If I reformat can I get rid of this virus? (I can't install anti-virus software, the virus ruins setup.exe files).

You can get a free online scan and clean at housecall.antivirus.com. Or by going to google.com and typing the name of the virus you can get links for a removal tool.
