I usually spend zero time
I usually spend zero time cleaning off my hard drive or tweaking windows beyond the basic startup processes. I find it boring and tedious to organize files and even more boring to pin down what's slowing my windows machine. And I also like the feeling of formatting a hard drive and starting fresh since it clears up a lot of HD space and ensures that no crap is running that I forgot about years ago. 2-3 hours every 2 years solves 99.9% of my organizing/HD Space/performance problems rather than tweaking and organizing constantly.
No single installation of windows that I've ever owned has kept it's performance up after a few years unless I just didn't install anything period, which never happens.
That's fantastic if you can do it.. but I've never been able to. Something always hoses it up. Plus, I've had a hard drive go bad on me before, losing all the pictures and files. If I'm backing up files anyways, then it's simple that my time is better managed just wiping clean every 2 years.
I suppose my basic point is, virus scan is good at delaying the inevitable. But the best security option is to regularly wipe clean and use the virus scanner to scan the files you re-install from backup. If you really want to go hardcore, use some software to write zeros to or scramble the drive multiple times, then reformat and reinstall. This'll ensure no virus remains hidden somewhere in some sector on the disk.
