Absolutely incorrect. There are some times where removing a virus
from your hard drive will leave the boot sector and the FAT table encrypted,
and the only way to recover from it is to format the drive.
The MOST IMPORTANT THING to do when you're infected is to BACK UP
EVERYTHING to tape or to a ZiP drive or some other device. DO NOT
immediately remove the virus. You should find out what it is, and what it
does before you remove it.
There are many misnomers regarding viruses, that I'll have to start
posting here soon.
