why format and re-install?

-get your virus protection up to date and keep it up to date
-remove the apps and utilities that got you infected (or change your use of them to prevent reinfection)
-remove the spyware and other useless shit
-think about a new setup that has system+apps and data on separate volumes so you can ghost the system+apps to a DVD and restore it whenever it fuks up

... even better, use an operating system that doesn't get infected so easily (e.g. linux) ... and if you insist on running a few windows tools then get Lindows.


formatting and reistalling is a good way to get rid of all the random crap that accumulates on your comptuer over time. (and yes there is alot of it)
