Absolutely Dominic.

Don't even consider hooking up your Internet connection until you have up-to-date Firewall and Anti-Virus protection. Download them before you re-format and write them onto CD so you can install them immediately that XP is installed :)

Download and install the patch that stops XPs vulnerabilty to madblast too, prior to formatting then you can reinstall that before connecting to the net again Dominic. :doggie:
