Oh, well depending on the virus, you may have no choice but to wipe your drive. Its just a fact. As long as you run windows, and use things like instant messaging, you will get infected. Again and Again. It is a fact of windows. The only secure windows machine is one not connected to the internet.

Do you run virus sw? I use free AVG. http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1

I also run free MS AntiSpyware. Go to www.microsoft.com.
