Default Re: I reformat my computer every three months...

Being in IT for over ten years, you are nuts.

Why would you want to do that?

Why don't you just get a PC and keep it in check, install latest updates and latest antivirus (Windows Defender, NOD32, Kaspersky) definitions, use a hardware firewall (router configured properly). Use CAT5 instead of WLAN and keep everything up to date.

EVEN THEN, you are not always safe. Believe me.

If you are constantly reformatting your computer, you are setting back all updates, all configurations and tweaks.

If you are really that crazy, make a ghost of your initial setup (all software, latest updates, definitions) and just swap when needed. Please use google to find more about GHOSTING.
