Someone has controlled your PC using a program, never add someone you don't know, as they can find your IP address and do loads of stuff, also don't accept anything from random people.

No-one is remotely connecting... Its a Trojan but nothing will delete it :S
-
So the trojan wouldn't delete? What anti-virus you got?
-
Norton 360 and I have also tryed McAfee but nothing will delete it...
-
I would download avast anti-virus and see if that can delete it.

Use AVG 8.0, decent I'm using it now.

Anti-virus
Look, no wonder you havent been able to get rid of it, Nortan + McAfee are really ****.
The only reason they have a good reputation is because they sell it in shops, and put alot of advertising into it.
I recommend using AVG 8.0 or AVAST.
they both have a free version and are very professional.
I am currently running AVG 8.0 paid version + Avast

Your browsers been hijacked I suggest you don't use damn internet explorer, download firefox and use that instead, much safer.

It's not really possible for the trojan to stay on your PC when you reformat it unless it's sitting on the network or something. Disconnect your network cable from the PC (or turn the wireless off if you use wireless) and then reformat, as it recommends.
