Install the operating system disk.It cleans the files you saved since last install but during the install prompt will ask you good questions to keep things in order.What do to you got to lose anywayYou are trying to get back the system.
Start up the system in safe mode. It worked for me!!
There are three most common solutions which i practise. First one is to install operating system on second partition (bare sistem only with antivurs), (works with XP/2000) and clean your infected partition, after cleaning your virus on infected partition you can safley remove your second system (or leave it for other time :), second one is to install Linux on other partition and clean it safely from there (similar as the first solution), and third one is to unhook your hard drive and attach it to other uninfected computer as slave drive and disinfect it from there (most common and simplest solution).

∙ 12y agoIn order to get a virus out of a computer you first need to get rid of the computer because you made the wrong choice in computers. Stupid PCs get viruses 24-7, while Macs don't viruses at all. I have had my Mac for 2 years not and had had 0 problems with it. My old Dell could barely function. Go for a Mac and get rid of you crappy PC
