When you re-install the OS, did you also re-install the modem driver? If you didn't the modem was probably disabled because it was not properly installed, not because of a virus. When you format the hard drive and reinstall, you are erasing everything, including viruses from the hard drive. Your problem was probably software related, specifically a driver problem.
