Malware Reformating?

If you have the ability to backup, format and reinstall your system and all other software and retweak it, you should have the ability to run the READ & RUN ME.

It's your choice on what approach you prefer to take. But a new install involves more than you may think. Especially to get back to a level of where you system is at. You have to consider all of the below:

• you have to backup all you own data, settings, configurations etc and first you have to know what/where all of these are. And you have to have the medium (burnable media, second hard drive, tape drive [yuck] )
• then you must make sure you have the necessary disks to reinstall not just your OS but all other software you use especially protection before going online
• then fdisk, format, reinstall the OS
• now reinstall all your software especially protection
• get online (requires some setup and config that novices have problems with)
• download updates for OS
• download updates for protection software
• download updates for all other software
• tweak all software back the way you like it. Including Desktop settings, icons etc.
• create all the folders that you use for everything in your normally routines
• re-load from your backups to get data back, to get settings, Favorites,.....etc back
• now over the next two weeks you will realize that you forgot to backup some stuff and also you will keep finding something else that you need to reinstall.

 

That's your decision to make.
