ps this is my first post, sorry if its a bit rough"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe." Albert Einstein

If you reformatted and did a completely new install, you need to make sure you have your anti-virus software installed and running before getting online.

the problem is that mebroot just keeps appearing.
i reformatted and bitdefender spotted it even before my wireless was connected for the first time.

So you removed all partitions and actually reformatted the entire drive, then reinstalled? Did you copy any data back onto the machine?

the entire drive including partitions were removed
no old data was copied back either
i even tried repairing the MBR
