i have this terrible virus that shuts me down every 20 minutes so that a complete virus scan won't have enough time to detect it. Anyways my only option is to format it. I have all original packaging including the code. My friend said (computer nerd) said i would be able to get a month of free vista with the serial code before having to buy it. Is this true? and is backing up the same as copying and pasting to a thumb drive or cd?|||first, format isn't a term i think you are actually meaning.
second, you should have the original dvd or a kidden recovery partition on your system if it's a retail computer.
actually, if you have vista and a key code (or not even) you can use vista for 4 months for free w/o actuivation or key. you can actually install any version of vista and not type in the ksy while installing it.|||How long have you had the virus? Go to Start, All Programs, Accessories, System tools, then click on System Restore. This can bring your computer to an earlier state.
Try malwarebytes.org and do a quick scan after installing/updating it. If a bunch of viruses get found immediatly, abort the scan and delete those. Then reboot. Try it again and see if your computer is fine. If it isn't, do another scan and try to get more caught. Delete those. If the virus keeps coming back, you could have a RAT virus.|||I would just put in the back up CD's that came with Vista if you don't have them then just go out and get windows 7 its much better than vista. also when you back up your files you are also going to back up the virus so be careful with what you do. Also Vista will give you the option of formatting the hard drive before you install it.|||Don't listen to your friend
He is on something
No you won't have to buy vista again
just install it and fellow the instructions
