What exactly is the nature of this fatal virus?
Could it possibly be a faulty machine?
I know a lot of advice has been given on this, but if it has some
serious problems it is possible it is just a bad machine.

My son has a new Dell Mini10 that seems to have a fatal virus.
He lives in a house with others and they have an unsecured network
connectoion. About 10 days ago he thinks he got a virus and the only
way he could find to get rid of it was sto reformat the hared drive.
He did that. Reinstalled the Windows 7 OS and thought he was fine.
Not so. The "virus" (if that's what it is came back. So he repeated
the steps. Downloaded and purchased McAfee virus Protection and
thought he was fine. Again, the virus came back, this time destroying McAfee.
He has since reformatted the drive several times and each time the
"virus" returns.
Do you think there really IS a virus in the network or is this
somestranger than faction paronoia?
Is there any way to determine whether this IS or is NOT a virus? Is
there any hope that Dell will take the machine back and fix it and
send a new one since it's under warranty?
Any advice will be appreciated. I bought the machine for ng son as
an early Christmas prresent and so far and so far it's been a$300
white elephant that has caused nothing but trouble.
Thanks in advance for nay help you can provide!!
Warm regards and thanks in advance,
