No. It takes a lot more work than that to get them off your computer. Try McAfee or Norton.

Restarting computers and running anti-virus software will help get rid of viruses.

Not by itself, no. Most viruses reload itself during startup, so restart will just, well, reload the virus.
Antivirus programs wants you to restart because it has eliminated the virus from startup, thus your system is not in danger of reinfecting itself after a restart.

No, viruses are smarter than that. Reboot using a clean startup disc & antivirus.

formating is where you re install your OS like Xp it deletes everything on the hard drive and only downloads windows xp
