Where practical, I also agree with this statement.  That really is the 
only way to be sure.  Though you also have to sit down and consider how 
the naughty people compromised your machine in the first place and make 
sure that vulnerability is fixed on the fresh install....or you'll just 
be doing this again in a few days.
