I have a major virus on my computer and I've tried to get into safe mode, but It doesnt work ei

It says there is a fatal error and must restart.

I've managed to get to the Full Recovery screen that says I can reformat my hard disk, install Windows XP, device drivers, and preinstalled applications.

Will this even help? Im 90% sure the viruses are in Internet Explorer because when I opened it up my anti-spyware software was blocking repeated attempts to install .exe applications from different servers - this happened so quickly that I couldn't run a quick check on my computer and then when I restarted it said there was a fatal error and it must restart.

Im concerned that the virus or worms will still be in there, but who knows - I know I dont.

Help please!

Thanks!

When you reinstall Windows, it will wipe everything off your hard disk and start over. I'm thinking that the chances of it staying are next to nothing. A reformat is the best way to get rid of a virus; unfortunately, it is the most time-consuming.
