If I format or erase my hard drive will it remove a virus?

Yes Formatting the HardDisk to remove the virus is an ultimate solution but I advise it only when its very severe. If your computer is infected with a virus formatting or erasing the hard disk drive and starting over will almost always remove any type of virus.

However, keep in mind if backups have been made that contain the virus, other media or drives connected to the computer have a virus, your computer is connected to another computer on a network with a virus, and/or the virus is stored on some other type of software you use with your computer it can become re-infected if not properly protected.

Best way to get safe from Virus is using a good anti virus software and keeping it updated on regular intervals. also I personally recommend use of PC Guard (One type of Pc Reovery Hardware that can be put in PCI Slot on your machine) will make your system safe not only from virus but also from System Crashes.
