You don't need anything fancy to remove the MyDoom. Just download the DAT-files from the page Stone showed you or here:

double-click on them and let them install, then run McAfee again. You need a .DAT-file and an enginge file, but the exact file depends on the version of McAfee you have.

Don't. That's worse. What you need to do is first re-install Windows. It should fix any problems, but DO NOT LET IT CONNECT TO THE INTERNET before you've installed it fully and have the firewall enabled. First use the in-built firewall, but as soon as you've got it running, go and get a better one. ZoneAlarm is free and works fine.
Never, NEVER surf the net without a firewall. Anti-virus programs only try to delete viruses already on your machine, they won't prevent any from getting into it. And many try to fool the anti-virus programs, so you might already have more than just one.
