try using antivirus norton hope it should be able to remove the virus without formatting.

by mbrunton

use either mcafee or norton to remove. they come with an emergency virus boot disk. Boot with the disk and clean the virus. If this virus is a boot sector, you can boot with 98 startup disk. At the command prompt type chkdsk, total bytes memory should read 655,360. If it doesn't type fdisk /mbr, then type sys c:. This command will recreate the boot sector. Reboot and run chkdsk, make sure it reads 655,360.

go to

www.pspl.com and download the trial version of Protector Plus, install it, let it clean your hard disk and if you don't want to purchase it just unistall it.
Get a good antivirus, such as Norton and keep it updated.

Good luck,

Remove any antivirus you have on your
system. (You will have to go into the
registery and manually remove the
remains.) Now go to this link
www2.my-etrust.com/commerce/
and get a trial copy of etruns antivirus.

Good Luck Lee
