I found a trojan and some spyware on the registry of my PC. Would a reinstall restore the registry to when I first bought it? The thing is, I've done that, and the trojan and spyware still shows up in the registry keys when I do a scan.

A full recovery would destroy everything and start again, but if your system allows a non-destructive recovery then the problem is likely to remain.
Yes it will reset your registry to factory. It sounds like you still have the Trojan/spyware still installed on your PC though, which is why it still shows up . Reinstalling the Windows OS will NOT remove the problem . Your best bet would be to use a virus scanner and a spywarescnner to remove all the buggers . Some free software you can download to your PC or onto a media card/CD from a friend's PC would be AVG Virus scanner and Spybot Search and Destroy or Adawareby Lavasoft.
