you don't have to worry about formating your pc once a month. if you like formatting it's easy. Just open start--run and write in "format d:" or any other volume you want to format, but I don't suggest doing that because it's not necessary, what you should do is to defragment your drives from time to time.

I format my pc, usually if there are too many viruses which is really hard to clean up and it had affect all the drives already. Now its my problem is i didn't noticed that my cdrom aint working now and i can't install the OS anymore. I hardly found internal dvd rom to make the necessary installations, i don't have floppy which can be use in booting. If it is not necessary to format your pc and scanning can still do, do not format your pc yet.

Computer need not be in the format if not necessary. You need to do is clean disk, defrag, install anti-virus and virus scan regularly.

I never reformat my HD is is a waist of time. I can usually fix issues with the OS when they occure, now for scans you say 20 days so what happens if you get a virus 1 day after you do your scan and it is an email virus. so anyone in your address book might end up with that virus. glad I am not part of your email address book. should scan for virus's nightly or have the software set to scan on the fly. Now for a defrag yes check once a month, and if needed then defrag. I usually find that I dont need to defrag very often. am luck if it is needed once a year. and my system is on 24/7
