(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Ok my computer is officially done for. I have downloaded many security programs but they all fail to make my computer better. So I give up and I want to completely reformat or w/e make its as if I just took it out of the box. I want to start over and keep my computer safe. Especially since NGU can guide me with this. I don't have an OS disc but I can burn w/e is needed to another DVD and run the disc. I have Windows Vista. Don't convince me otherwise.

I will rep and thank and donate all my vbux to whoever gets this done successfully.

Easisest way to fix it is to extract all data needed from the harddrive. Like, take your harddrive out and rub a big magnet against it IN ONE DIRECTION. Make sure it's out of it's case. After that reboot and I'll guide you from there.

I am not responsible for any damage you do if you do that, by the way.

that is the worst idea ever. I know it works but It is too risky.

Hmmm. Do you want to reload with vista or windows 7? Also 32 or 64 bit?
