| Do you have a virus scanner? If so, make sure that it's up to date, and do a full scan of your entire HD (include every file.) It sounds like a virus to me, trojans usually are used to take control of a computer. Viruses do their damage on the local computer. If you have windows XP or ME, you can try a system restore in addition to a through virus scan.
Remember, even if the virus scanner can't remove what you have, you should be able to find out how to kill it on a site like Norton's. But you need to know the name of what's infecting you.

Well if you formatted 2 days ago, then you have a backup of everything, right? If so, your best bet is to format, and re do your computer again. Once you set yourself up again, get a virus scanner! It's a necessity. And keep it up to date.

Yeah, its most likely a trojan backdoor (possibly Subseven, or Netbus, which are the most common) |
