Generally they are contained within system file locations, basically scattered between bits of Windows or any OS.
It's certainly possible for it to tuck itself away on other locations, but thus far I've never seen any of them actually do that.
Agree with the format btw. It's often quicker and cleaner than actually dealing with removing the bugger, but then I have the luxury of being able to wipe C: without actually losing anything. To friends I always offer to come over, hook up to the network and backup what they want to keep before formatting.
