Erase Windows Cookies History

Is this a virus? How to clean/erase computer?
A few days ago my computer started doing strange things when I was using firefox. The page would scrow up/down by itself while I tried to read/write anything. I thought it could be a virus but I have Norton up to date and nothing showed up, I also used spybot search&destroy and “cookies” showed up and were fixed/deleted..
I deleted all history, cookies and everything else I could think of could be the source (including unistalling most programs) and used my recovery cd to re-install windows xp overwriting the old copy last night. Today I’m having the same problem. I’ve scanned it with norton and spybot and had the same results as before.
Is this a virus? The only thing it does is move firefox while I’m not doing it. Then it stops and restarts after a while.
How can I delete everything on this computer and reinstall windows to make sure it’s all gone? I have the installation cd but it appears it only touches whatever is under the windows folder.

Beofre you reinstall windows scan your PC with Malwarebytes and see if it finds anything.
Malwarebytes free version.

Malwarebytes does a deeper scan then spybot.
