     Guys',

    My computer is very new I just wanted to know if it's still as good as new after being reformatted because of a virus?? Does it perform 100% well after being reformatted??

    If you are asking if formatting the drive will completely rid the system of a virus, the answer is yes (unless it is the VERY RARE boot sector virus, but I really wouldn't even worry about that).

      You can download utilities that will test your various components. Just search on Google. For example, do a Google search for "memory testing software" or "video card testing software", etc.
