Anyways the point of my post is... why is it that within 10mins after reformatting my PC, was I able to get all those viruses!
I mean I didn't download anything at all. All I did was download some updates for my programs like ad-aware etc and then boom I get message saying my pc is going to be restart in 1minute (the Sasser worm).
Just curious anyways because id like to know like how it happens.

Any time i format the pc i always unplug my net from my pc.Always use that cool free update disk from microsoft that has pretty much all the updates,then i install norton,then i plug the net back in the pc and go from there.If u dont have that Cool Microsoft Update disk then install norton or whatever you use then update.
Go to http://www.techspot.com/tweaks/updates/ and gets the .exe update. Unplug the network cable, reinstall Windows XP. Apply the updates and install anti virus software along with the newest definition, and now go to microsoft and get the newer updated.
