Hi,and No, not "All" some "hide on the drive where a reinstall will not effect them, however, if your going to go that far, you could reformat BEFORE you reinstall, that WILL kill all viruses.HTHBeSafeE Dragon
Yes,but first try the advice that follows here&you cant just reinstall,you have to reformat,wich only a computer guy can do for you-My PC has also been infected with the Funweb A virus and other viruse,that i could not detect or remove.I was running AVG free adition virus ware and it did not pick it up-I have tried every virus ware I could find,but no luck.I then went to www.webattack.com and found a way to remove it by doing the following-clicked on green link at the top of the page stating "FREEWARE",then clicked on virus tools/or you can search on that site for this program-"Avast home edition".It is the best freeware program,that i have ever used and removed the virus in no time.The Funweb A is a Trojan horse virus,and when Avast picked it up was goung under another name-i think that's why everybody have difficulty in removing it,and cant find anything under funwe A ,coz it is going under another name.Avast has also detected and removed 2 other virus infected files on my PC!It is important to do a live update of avast virus deff and to set program to run a full system scan.Do download the full free home adition and not just the computer cleaner.Its AMAZING and kicks budd! : )Thank you so much Avast!!!!Two programs going really well with Avast and also freeware on the same site is Ad-Aware spy detector and Zone Alarm firewall.I have all three and they work together like magic!: )GREAT STUFF!!!!Try it,you wont look back!
