Default Reformatting A Compy?

Okay, My Compy is totally fexed. And My brother wont fix it again, because he thinks i did it, though it could just as well have been him. :wink:

Anyway, he wants me to figure out myself, and i just remember, HEY! PCPG! x;

i know i havent been here in a while but, i had other priorities in life, but. can anyone tell me some ways to get my compy nice and good and reformatted and cleaned of spyware/adware/malware/dataminers/keyloggers? :?

i tried reinstalling the OS, but i guess im still a PC n00b. i just know how to use the programs pretty well, but could someone help me out?

or you could just get a boot disk with DOS on it, format your hard drive, get your cdrom working in DOS, and reinstall from there.
