But first of all TRY Norton Antivirus it is one of the best antivirus program available today!!!! [img]tongue.gif[/img] good luck!
As another user warned, simply formatting may not work. Some virii hide in memory during the format process and immdetiately copy them selves back onto the HD after the format is complete.

You must be very careful about this, power on boot using the winblows CD and then format - this will prevent virii from being loaded from the MBR.
