I thought you could install Windows on a clean hard drive with an upgrade CD and during the beginning of the process it asks for the CD for the previous version of Windows that you had before the upgrade?

They offer a free version that creates a bootable diskette. It does a great job, but use with caution as it destroys ALL data. It has a simple interface and is relatively quick.

Let me through out some options that the tru geek in us all will appreciate.

1. Use a utility called nLite to build an atteded Windows installation CD. This is great when you have to reinstall a lot. You can use nLite to build in many applications and predefined sttings. It's awsome and free to use.

2. The solution I've moved towards i VMWare Workstation. Reload windows but then load up a copy of VMWare's Workstation. I load, test and run all my applications in this workstation. If the preformaces goes south or the VM crashes, I just start over with my original VM. Love this!!!

Eitehr way go luck!!! :)

This kind of measure is drastic and extremely overzealous for the majority of infections. Most likely, the malware can be removed very easily. I'll have a look over TeamViewer or similar if you want, otherwise, I would suggest just taking it to your local computer store so they can charge you for the same thing.
