About a year ago i had spyware, adware and virus issues with my laptop, I tried different spyware %26 antivirus removal software but still had problems. I stopped using my laptop all together but now i want to use it again. Should I reformat the hard drive and start over or does anyone have any suggestions as to what i should try next??? I have already backed up files that i need. I have the disks to install the microsoft office suite, i just wouldn't know where to begin. If i reformat the hard drive would i need to reinstall the office suite, i know i'll have to add the printer/scanner again but would it reload the programs that were originally on the laptop??? I'd really appreciate some suggestions. :)
Should I reformat my laptop's hard drive?agv
Your spyware is old and pest control improved since last year.
Either system restore (that is shortest) else:
A.) try to remove the spyware and viruses
Good free virus scanner and there are plenty.
This step is best done with and external boot cd e.g.
Barts PE - with scanner run from there.
next: Start up Your system and.

Best run both through - between the two they should get all spyware. ( // i have a double boot system on hdd // I would only run virus software and then B. and C. - if i were You)
