I use kersperskey as my anti-virus.

If you can't access localhost, that means your web server is not running. You can't access phpMyAdmin, which is a PHP script that runs through a web server, if the web server is not running.

When you format your machine, you basically delete the web server and mysql and everything. You need to install them again.
