RE: Messenger virus or security vulnerability

Hey I have this problem also.

Can't someone in Microsoft try to find a fix for this?

It's a really annoying thing to have, this Virus...

What is the problem? A virus, try a better antivirus/antimalware program.

You do realize that "formating" or "deleting" doesnt actually remove anything off the hard drive, right? Look at it like a book, formating/deleting in Windows is akin to ripping out the "table of Contents" page in the book.

The only way to truly "delete" anything on a hard drive is to overwrite it. "formating" does not really overwrite the entire drive, just the "table of Contents", and that is why data can be recovered that was deleted, or off "supposedly" formated hard drives. Data is only truly "unrecoverable" and "deleted" when it has been overwritten multiple times.

see post #3 here for free software that will "wipe" the drive, if that is what you want to do:
