Hit it with a Hammer
If you format your hard drive, you will likely erase all your data. Sometimes formatting is necessary to reinstall Windows and whatnot. Just make sure you back up everything before you reformat, because everything on your computer will be GONE after you do it! ...Unless you're just formatting a flash drive or MP3 player, then you just lose everything on that particular device. Again, make sure you backup first.
reload windows or your favorite operateing system.

Well, without harming your computer, i would say that everything is risky. Reinstall your Operating System, but before you reformat and reinstall the OS. Backup all your important files on CD and Email, and another computer. Once you reinstall, the virus will be completely gone, risk-free.
Reinstall the operating system.
Reinstall Windows XP from your CD or DVD set and reformat your hard drive. This will erase everything including the virus. Also, get a Mac.
Connect your iTouch to your computer and click "Restore iPod" and it will erase everything on your iTouch.
Delete everything to do with msn on your computer and reinstall it from http://download.live.com/ now it should work!!:)
Reinstalling Windows will not erase the hard drive unless you tell it to reformat the hard drive before reinstalling the operating system. You will have to reinstall all your programs that were installed prior to reinstall but all your saved files will still be there.
Yes. In short, virtually everything, and anything. It all depends on what the virus what built to do.
Yes you will... Formatting the hard-drive will erase everything that's stored on it - including all programs and personal data. To re-install Windows 7, you will need the activation key supplied in the software's packaging or from the sticker located on the computer's case.
