Upgrading to xp professional isn't going to help you with your virus
problem.

To install xp pro, boot to the xp cd and follow the on screen instructions.
It will allow you to choose whether to upgrade xp home to pro or format and
clean install pro(which unless you get rid of the virus you may want to do).

Boot off the XP CD and during setup you can create/delete partitions.
Deleting the C: partition will remove XP.
