WIN32/NUQEL.E AND BANKERFOX.A

HI THIS IS YET ANOTHER WIN32/NUQEL.E VIRUS INFECTION. I HAVE A TOSHIBA A300 WITH AVG FREE ANTI VIRUS AND THE STANDARD WINDOWS FIREWALL AND IT HAS BEEN INFECTED WITH THE ABOVE MENTION VIRUSES. I HAVE RAN DR WEBB ACROSS IT TWICE WITH NO RESULT. I CAN GET INTO SAFE MODE JUST. AND IN NORMAL MODE I CANNOT ACCESS THE INTERNET OR OPEN ANY FILES AND PROGRAMS. SAFE MODE IS OK BUT NO INTERNET. i HAVE ONE QUESTION CAN I REFORMAT THE HARD DRIVE AND REINSTALL XP PRO OR JUST CHUCK IN A NEW HARD DRIVE? THE COMPUTER IS ONLY A COUPLE OF WEEKS OLD SO DOES NOT HAVE THAT MUCH DATA ON IT YET. ALSO WHEN THE VIRUS ATTATCKED I HAD AN EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE CONNECTED, WOULD THAT STILL BE OK.
PS. THIS IS BEING TYPED FROM THE BACKUP COMPUTER.

THANKS IN ADVANCE
KELVIN

Hi

Just to let you guys know, I reformatted, and reinstalled xp pro after over righting the hard drive and all is now ok. How ever I am alot more concerned about the external hard drive that was attatched to the computer at the same time. Would it be ok or is it u/s?

Thank you
Kelvin
