Windows Vista Uninstall Everything

I want to uninstall everything on my acer laptop with Vista and reinstall but not sure how to go about that. My computer runs very slow and I have a virus to get rid of.

 

I have a virus scanner now and things seem to be okay in that area. As far as "cleaning up" my computer I'm wondering how to uninstall and reinstall everything so my computer runs better.

 

you should run a virus scan on your system

Here is a online scan tool from microsoft

Run this and i m sure it will help you

 

My laptop (Toshiba Satellite) came with a pair of recovery disk to boot from to recover to original factory settings as well as a recovery partition. there is also a built in feature to create recovery disks. if you can't access the recovery from your boot screen you can fall back on these disks. Back-up your data to an external drive!

 

Sometimes it can be useful to backup your computer with something like Acronis, which lets you restore partitions or full disks.

Best make a "˜clean’ backup immediately (to have it as new as you can) or remove the virus and then do the backup so you can restore this otherwise you will restore the virus if it was on your PC when you did the backup.

Acronis also has bootable media, which can backup and restore computer disks or partitions to a USB storage device.
