How To Recover Data After A Virus?
"recuva"...
thats assuming that you actually created a new partition when you install vista again...
also if you maybe deleted a file after throwing it to the trash then emptying it...the only way of you recovering that file is if you had a backup under the backup partition or in your temp. folder.
but there is no way of ever recovering the data after re-installing and maybe formatting your drive...its just false advertisement...I just recommend
using Microsoft new : anti-virus software called "Microsoft Security Essentials" which is actually great updated everyday. with real time protection.assuming you have a genuine copy of windows. and its free
maybe scanning your system for Spyware,adware use "Malware-Bytes"...
highly recommend other antivirus' which are free software like Avast(free version) Avg(free)
not [norton or trend-micro] which actually clog up your drive and make you OS seem slower.
recommend you to scan regularly and play it safe man...if you know your downloading a bunch of stuff from sharing-sites.torrents or what ever play it safe man learn to know how to fix your things/mistakes in real-time.
any question care to send me a email at:

Once you reload windows all that data is lost (or atleast it should be.)
Unless of course you never actually reformated the hard drive.
