ive tried reformating twice and the virus still comes back immediately.

 

You are doing the format wrong.

 

OR

 

You have something infected on a CD, floppy disk, USB drive, e-mail etc that reinfects your PC when you use it.

thats what i was thinking. my friend reformated it but put my old files back onto my hard drive afterwards. i assumed that was the problem but i dunno shit about computers so it was just an intuitive hunch.

I suggest you scan every piece of removable storage you own. Scan it with more then 1 program. The more the better. It won't hurt to try other then lost free time.

 

If you really want your computer clean do this after you do the above.

 

 

 

 

1) Use a hard drive (maxtor western digital) program to do a low level format (TAKES FOREVER TO DO).

2) FDISK

3) Use partition magic to do a full NTFS format.

4) Install windows

5) Do not install any of your previous files unless you know they are clean.

 

Let me know if you have any questions.
