SOURCE: I have been told by Best Buy' Geek Squad that

you have a number of options, depending where you live
Ebay, microdirect, ebuyer are all good sources of motherboards plus Amazon.

Why is it that you need a new motherboard? Is yours broken or is it just that you want a faster machine?

How to remove win32/mebroot?

Hi there,
Well this Win32/mebroot is a trojan and you need a trojan killer to remove this. you can remove this by two ways -
1. Online - means when your computer runs the operating system and you can install the trojan killer and search for the trojan.
2. Offline - in this you don't need to start the operating system of your computer, you just need the offline CD of a trojan killer that starts automitally before windows start and then you just make a search for the trojan.
Please follow the below link to get your trojan killer -

So many trojan virus in my system how to remove it.

Try downloading malwarebytes its the best antispyware/spyware removal tool around right now and just use for trial period for now.
http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php
Should help remove a fair bit. Also make sure your antivirus has the latest updates and run it. If its still around after that let me know. Theres also a tool called hijackthis which you can run it can help clean up a fair bit. If all else fails try combofix its very powerful and I only recommend if the others are unsuccessful as it can make some major changes. I have never had a problem with it personally but heard some people have.
