Install your updates, applications, and anti-virus. Scan your backed up files before copying them back to the computer.
This is the only way to totally get it cleaned up. More than likely there are a ton of dll's still registered in the old install and you will not be able to cleanly remove them. Your registry is also probably quite hybrid by now making it even more difficult. There could still be copies of the virus floating around in the old directory just waiting to be run.
