dont forget your tinfoil hat
if you can pm me with a link to any virus/trojan/malware/anything that can survive when you format the hard drive, i will load it onto my computer, just to format it to prove you wrong

the only reason FAT should be used over NTFS is if you are using Windows 95/98/Me, which you shouldn't be!
besides the fact that FAT is less secure than NTFS in the first place, you would be using an unsupported operating system, with old software not up to date with providing protection against the latest nasties
NTFS also lets you use file compression, and drive read/write speeds are quicker under NTFS
