Virus

Reload of OS takes more time again. Instead of this you can make it with ghost pack. It will enable to set things right in minutes.

i just scan my computer n try many antiviruses to remove the virus... if still its not gone then i format my system....

I use a updated antivirus program,so i never thought of reloading the OS.

Don't reload the OS yet. You just have to run your anti virus software first and see if it will be able to clean the virus. Make sure you have the latest update from the virus software that you're using.

i think try to got any antivirus to remove this one or you can go to any website and scan online

What I usually do was I place installation programs on another drive, not drive C: where Windows is installed. And of course some installations are from CD's. Then regarding datas, I also make a data drive, not C:. Then I will copy all the Windows profiles from drive C: to my data drive. That includes desktop, mydocuments, etc. Afterwards, I format my drive C: then reinstall again the Windows, and other programs. Afterwards, copy again from my data drive the profiles into drive C: Windows profiles.

I agree with the fact that if you aheva good anti virus solution then you dont need to relaod your operating system

It depends!in some cases a good anti-virus software can remove the virus, try AVAST or AVG!they are free and have dayly actualizations!

For me my system never get virus affected cause I use Norton Antivirus. And if my system get virus affected I format the partion & reload OS

depends on the virus, usually you just buy McAffee or Norton Anti Virus and it will clean your hardrive and ram of viruses, then keep it activated at all times since many webpages try sending you spyware which is a form of a trojan virus if you ask me. If you simply can't do anything, not even load up your OS then you would need to format the computer entirely and reinstall everything, but if it's not at that point then just get a virus scanner and have it clean your computer out.

not required to reload your os scan your computer for virus using your antivirus and remove them. if the antivirus detects the virus and is unable to remove it then log into safe mode and search for the virus yourself and delete it manually. if this also does not solve the problem then unfortunately back up your important data and format your drive which has virus....

Quite right NZK.... as long as you're running a reliable AV then there should never be any need to re-install your OS...I've only ever had to re-install an OS once due to viruses and that wasn't one of my PC's. A little money spent on a good AV can save a lot of money and hassle in the future

naw dont do that. just get a virus scan and quarinteen the virus or delete it completely. if bad comes to worse bring it to the technician or ask a friend to work on it. after all of this then you might want to think about reloading the OS. specially is data has been corrupted. if your having a specific problem add me to friends i might b able to help...maybe
