Hello everyone, here we go again.
Recently my Dell PC running WIN XP got infected with a virus. I'm currently running my pc on the D, drive since the C drive the AVG program and it found:
53 files infected with Virus Win32/Virut
1 trojan horse backdoor.Generic_c.CLN
1 trojan horse Downloader.Delf.CEO
1 trojan horse Sheur2.WNC

I thought if I can format hard drive C, I will have a clean system but when I tried to format the drive, I get the message: Windows was unable to complete the format

Please help.

Thanks.

Well you wont be able to format the C drive cause that's where Windows is installed on. If you were able to format, you wont be able to boot your computer.

So I recommend you go to the Malware Section and get your PC cleaned up there.
