You reformat your computer.
It's pretty much the only way to eradicate anything. Once you compromised yourself, you don't know how much further it dug in. Even if you remove the original virus, you don't know what else it let in.

Back at ya on the false
Is it unneeded in most cases, sure.
But the statement remains: You do not know if you are secure or not unless you do it. Period.
You can easily gamble by not doing it and still come up on top, but that doesn't mean you aren't taking a risk.
Of course, I'm good at backing up so the task for me is one of a couple of hours so it's not a big investment for the surety of security.
I know most don't give back ups even lip service.
