Reinstalling XP
My computer is infected with a virus which makes some programs freeze up when they load (Macromedia Suite, Itunes, WinRAR). I have put the original virus (Trojan Horse) in the AVG Virus Vault, but it does not seem to have stopped it. I cannot use Norton Goback to goback, either, because its "database is corrupted".
If I format the Hard Drive, and reinstall windows completely, will that cure my problem? Or could the virus continue to spread?
Thanks
Alex
