Well, I had my Equium Toshiba Laptop since te 18th March 2008.
Since then it's been back to PC World Twice, the first they couldn't find anything wrong, the second time they forgot to fix something.
The problems it's faced are:
Blue Screen of Death
Faulty DVD/CD Drive
Overheating and Turning Off
Unable to read discs
3 Trojan Horses (still currently on disc)

The fan was supposed to be replaced back in February 2009, but PC World failed to replace it or fix it, and since then it reheats and shuts down.
Recently today, it had shut off over twenty times in the spaces of 5-15 minutes.
I tried product recovery in case Trojan Horses were making it worse, as the Trojans have eaten away at my 80GB hard drive, and its no 73GB.
However, my computer is failing to start up Product Recovery, and my anti-viral systems are shut off, and can't be turned back on. The problem of overheating has been resolved, however, I still need to restore my laptop completely and fully (wiping everything off) so the trojans are killed and any other faults are cured.

What I do:
1) Put the disc in and shut it off.
2) Turn laptop on and hold F12
3) Menu comes up with HHD, FFD, CD/DVD, LAN and USB
4) I was told to click on HHD, the hard drive
5) It restarts the computer normally and doesn't do what it's supposed to

Am I doing something wrong?
Please help, I can't afford to send it back to PC world for more money, when they don't fix the problem!

It has been restored 3 times (December 2008, February 2009 and May 2009)
