Recently, I received a virus,then my computer can't even bootup. Re-format it is my only choose. After delete partition, recreate partition and format it to FAT32, my computer freeze oftenly when I use Internet Explorer. I throught once I reformat the computer, everything very reset. Can anyone give me a idea what's going on, and some solutions to my problem. Appreciate any suggestions, thanks!

Several things can be wrong.
First of all I would really sugest you not to use FAT32, NTFS is there for a reason.
Secondly, there is an "unlimited" supply of patches for Internet Explorer. Download the latest IE 6, update it using Windows Update feature, then download hfnetchk.exe from microsoft and run it against your PC. It will bring up some more Q articles with patches to download for both Windows and possibly IE.
And the last thing, if you deside to convert FAT32 to NTFS, use "convert [drive:] /fs:ntfs" from the dos prompt. this will do it.
Hope some of this stuff helps,
Victor

P.S. A registry check with Norton System Works might help, althouth if it's a registry problem, reinstallation of IE will most likely help.
