If you reinstall windows xp will your computer be virus free?

Not necessary. If you get one of those boot viruses which puts itself in the boot sector even after complete disk format you will still have it. But in most cases complete formatting of the hard drive and fresh installion of OS gives you virus free OS.


Why does virus appears in PC even after formatting it?

If a virus persists on a PC even after formatting it is likely that the virus has been inserted into the boot sector of the hard drive - which is not rewritten when you re-format it. Assuming you are running a Microsoft OS, to fix it, boot using the install CD for the OS and run the first Repair option which will load the Recovery Console from a ramdisk (and doesn't use the hard drive for booting). This requires that your BIOS supports booting from the CD drive. Then run the 'fixboot' command. This is supposed to overwrite the boot sector. You may have to specify the drive letter of which partition to fix.


What is the meaning of boot sector viruses?

A boot sector virus is a virus that's located in or directly modifies a special part of the hard disk in a computer called the boot sector. The boot sector, in basic terms, directs the computer to the things it needs to load the operating system and user interface so you can use it. Viruses that modify the boot sector can be loaded into memory at the same time or even before the operating system, and can prevent the computer from starting up correctly in some cases. Boot sector viruses were more common during the days of DOS, when such viruses had easier access to the boot sector and other sensitive parts of the system. Today, these viruses are not very common because it is more difficult for them to spread and infect.

Why does your computer screen flash black when starting up?

Reason for black screen:When the computer will not boot up, it sound like it is booting as the CPU fan is running and the lights are on. It also finds the CD ROM but it won't boot from a CD either.Sometimes when you have a computer black screen on startup and the power switch light will be green and then turns to orange or amber. Everything is running.Everything seems to be running but you can't see anything on the screen, not even a flashing cursor. Your black screen in Windows has occurred before the Windows logo screen.
