    I reformat about every 4-5 months or so. Sometimes longer or shorter.

    Formatted twice in 2 years :) Before I format, there is a forest of icons. After I do, it looks so bare :(

    I formatted my PC a couple of times but haven't got any problem for the last one year. My advice is stay away from porn related sites and your system will be hale and healthy. If at all you venture, go there well protected with a good antivirus ;)
