Use your computer manufacturer's disk or the recovery partition.
Did your pc come with any recovery disks, if so then you just insert the disk into your pc, and restore back to factory settings, alternatively if you have a windows disk, just insert that and you can delete your current partition, and make a complete clean install on your pc.
What i do when my computer gets too many viruses, is that i take it to Computer shop or mechanic to fix it. Just tell them to format it and if you have any important files just save them on a CD, memory disk whatever...It really helped me alot, try it.
what do you mean? reformat?
unless you have system recovery points going back to when you first turned on the computer for the first time, reformat and reinstall (with the system manufacturer's disc) everything. be sure to back up all your important files to a CD, DVD, other storage media, as reformat will wipe the entire hard drive.
Push the Reset button!(:
ive had to do that a few times, CURSE U PORN! but uh i got windows vista, should be same for xp. restart it, and at the start screen press f11. itl take u to a itnerface for master reset. to its orginal factory con.
You can't reset it.the only choice you have to reinstall the windows from the disc.It will clean everything up.
Use an Xp CD to do so ..and choose the repair options.
look for a tutorial on youtube ...for that...since i cudnt put that here...
or if you got vista then choose repair on vista installation..
you will have to use the OS disk that came with the computer and download it
Delete everything you dont use anymore,do a virus scan and reboot.
