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.
Where should a user disable virus protection settings that might prevent the boot area of the hard drive being altered?
Virus protection programs can prevent many viruses or commands from happening on the boot area of the hard drive if it feels it can cause harm. In order to allow commands despite the virus protection program go into computer settings and programs then disable the anti virus program software. This can cause harm to your hard drive.
