You run firefox then use adblock too! https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865

I also recommend Noscript Except you may find it a pain to allow, allow temporally sites, but will help prevent what you are running into.

Do you have a product key sticker on the computer? If so, use that to change the key when installing windows. Call the number, input the new key on screen over the phone and the automated voice will read off the code. It should work. I had to do this for a virtual machine using OEM Windows XP pro.

Cloning will not work! You have already a malware ridin hard drive....right? Might as will reformat/reinstall. Cloning the computer right after install is a good idea though. Save that to a hard drive when you need it.
