Scotty, doing a clean install of Windows; which involves formatting... then the Virus aint gonna be no more. :wink:

I don't use Anti-Virus software, the protection I use is my brain... Never once had a virus; never once used anti-virus software.

I was talking with some tech guy (I don't remember why and where he was from), but he said that EVEN AFTER a thorough format, some malware may still exist on a drive.

Now, if I was told that by some website, I would have declared shenanigans, but this guy knew his stuff.
Does anybody have any idea on how that would work? I mean, a format is just that.. the whole disc is literally erased and started anew.
So I am just somewhat OH CONFUSED.

But, meh. It didn't affect me.
