Laptop - Windows XP is slow with errors

I am busy cleaning out all the old files on this Dell laptop due to slowness in booting and operation, freezing and other errors.
I was proposing to re-format the drive. In the process of using "My Computer" disk management - manage, a message came up "Backweb error The flash 303D - Jolly Jumper Viral ENU contains Errors".
I am running Kaspersky 2010 - is this message a virus? and how is it possible to remove it?

Thanks for any help
 
You need to do some general cleaning by downloading and running ccleaner to clean out all the old temp files and such. Also it wouldn't hurt to download and run malwarebytes and then post a hijackthis log.

Download ccleaner and then set it for these options in the attached image.

Get ccleaner here.

Then download and run malwarebytes and hijackthis

Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from here, here, here or here and save it to your desktop.
  • Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program.
  • At the end, be sure a checkmark is placed next to
    • Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
    • and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
  • then click Finish.
  • If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version. Please keep updating until it says you have the latest version.
  • Once the program has loaded, select Perform quick scan, then click Scan.
  • When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
  • Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
  • A log will be saved automatically which you can access by clicking on the Logs tab within Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware

If you continue to experience problems after doing this, please post a HijackThis log by doing the following:

Download the HijackThis installer from here.
Run the installer and choose Install, indicating that you accept the licence agreement. The installer will place a shortcut on your desktop and launch HijackThis.

Click Do a system scan and save a logfile

Most of what HijackThis lists will be harmless or even essential, don't fix anything yet.

Post the logfile that HijackThis produces along with the Malwarebytes Anti-Malware log
