I plan to buy a new PC, but i dont have money. I think the virus is in the RAM or graphic card and i cannot clean it. What do you guys think? can you help me in some way please?
If you did a clean install, you shouldn't have a virus. It sounds like you either did an install without reformatting your HDD or you reformatted your HDD, did a clean install and then added infected files from a backup. You can't get viruses from RAM memory, video cards or audio cards. Wherever you got that info, it's wrong.

It's not a question of how many anti-virus programs and fireawalls you are using, but rather which ones. Some of them like McAfee and Norton are just plain awful. Get ESET or Kaspersky and constantly update your virus definitions. If you don't update your anti-virus at least daily, it's worthless.
