Well, formatting will improve your computer's performance in addition to removing baddies, as it resets the registry. So it's not necessarily to give up.
But of course, you will lose all your data except for MP3s and images, but there is the risk of the trojan hitching a ride on whatever USB device you plug in.
Anyway, point is, it's not giving up, it's the last-resort solution. One that you should definitely take if you've spent too much time on it.

Actually it's a lie that your computer improves in speed when you format your PC.. Regcleaner Expert does the same thing cleaning the registry as it where brand new..
ALL the trojan does is being realllly anoying when I try to download AVI, MKV, WMA files :/
Tho I want it gone! :O

I've never really trusted those cleaner programs... but anyway, it's not a lie, a fresh install of any Windows OS moves faster than it does when it's been used regularly for over a year. Whether or not a registry cleaner does the same thing is irrelevant.
Smiffe:
I never trusted them either.. But Last time I got a nasty error in my registry I tried one and it actually fixed aLOT of problems I had with old crap lying around :)
But it still don't clean our Trojans lurking around :)
Freedom Kira:
Yeah, it doesn't, but a reformat does. This feels very circular. ;)

I never trusted those programs either. Try formatting only your windows drive. If it fixes the problem, you are lucky because you can retain all the data you have on the other drives. But if it doesn't go even after that, format your whole pc. That will definitely get rid of it. If you have any external storage devices (flash, external hdd, etc), connect it to another pc before your own. If it has a virus, format it as well, then connect it to your pc. Or, like i said, get Norton 360 for "cheap". I can PM you a link if you need.
