|  Hi jfitznc, The good news is, yes, most of the time; Using the System Restore disk is your surefire bet to getting rid of the virus. Immediantly after you format/restore your system, I HIGHLY reccomend that you download a virus scanner (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AmVLdYKgcntPhHyt6WuZ9afsy6IX?qid=100512 0804379 ) and to a scan right away. If your updated antivirus software does not detect anything -- you should be in the clear. Keep your scanner running after this recovery so you don't get a virus again! |

| No, the BIOS, can often store viruses, the only way to truly remove viruses is to bathe and burn all your possessions. |
