You have better odds on cleaning the data files then you do cleaning an
entire system. Data alone, unaccessed by the programs that facilitate
virus delivery makes he data easier to clean. If you can't see that,
time to step back and see the forest through the trees.
This is not about making statement by "not giving up" and "not bowing
down" to some malware assholes will, it's about getting the job done right.

In a business environment, yeah, removal is fine, but as a favor for

gambling on how long it's going to take, and you leave knowing they at

that. Plus, you can sit down and watch TV while the thing is running
the reinstall.
But if you agree that the removal route isn't safe, then how can you
guarantee the data?
