you said that you have 2 partitions on your drive, C and D so, that means when you format, you only lose the data on C or D whichever has windows installed on it, that means, if you formatted C, the files on D remains untouched and, the virus could still be there after you format, thats why the virus keeps popping up again..

btw, i got aim so, now we can talk lol.

Well, I think my method is the only one he HASN'T tried yet.

Atleast it'll get the job done.

I'll be watching this thread so I can be here if you have problems getting to the "Scanning" part.

Make sure you completely get rid of McAfee and Norton, and use the norton removal tool I linked you. Norton has a problem with many security Applications and may cause conflictions so its good to remove it 100%.
 

Great One

At this point, it would be smart to backup anything important that you might want... because it seems you'll probably lose all of it.

No the virus won't get stronger, depending on the virus then it could only infect more of your computer, but since none of your 2 AV's are removing it then it would be doing that anyway.

When installing Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7, I could show you screenshots of what I want you to do if you want me to.

And make sure you use the Norton removal tool I gave you a link to.
