To prepare for a reformat in case a virus destroys your computer, is to burn a copy of Ubuntu Linux to a CD, then boot from that to recover your data. And if you'd like, make a partition and store important data on there, and when you reformat it will only delete the operating system and not important data. If you can access your web browser then Google the virus to see if you can find a cure (there most likely will be).
Also never and I mean never turn off your anti-virus. If you do you leave yourself vulnerable to malwarem, spyware, trojans, and worms. One last tip run a virus scan at least once a week.
Hope this helped
