I have used AutoCAD for years, and I have never had a problem like this. I try to plot a drawing and the plot dialogue box does not come up -the program crashes. I have wiped my whole system and set it up again, thinking it may be a virus, but lo and behold, it happened again, with AutoCAD 2006 & 2008. Has anyone ever faced this problem before?

Tony,
The first thing I'd recommend is to test to see if the PLOT command has been redefined by another function. There's two easy ways you can do this.
1. Right click on one of the layout tabs and select the PLOT option.
2. On the command line type "._PLOT".
If either of these ways work, then your PLOT command has been redefined by another function and has a bug in the code somewhere.
Let me know what you find out.

"plot dialogue box does not come up -the program crashes"
AutoCAD crashes? The plot command crashes? What error are you receiving? Is CMDDIA set to 1? Is FileDIA set to 1? What is showing on the command line? The text screeen?
You might try setting LOGFILEMODE to 1 and try it again. LOGFILEMODE turns on the command echo log. Find the log file with LOGFILEPATH and LOGFILENAME and post it.
