reinstalling window xp and window update?

In theory, yes, but highly unlikely if the first thing you do you first turn
on the Windows firewall (if it isn't already turned on) and then go straight
to Windows Update after reinstalling XP. I have myself done it many times
and have never once been infected with a virus or anything else prior to
installing updates. Don't go anywhere else until you download and install
all of the updates, especially SP2.
