I just reinstalled Windows for the second time in a couple months time. It showed afterwards I had a broken RAM that caused blue screens to appear all the time.
Unplugging the chip made it allright again. Pity though I have to reinstall every program I had, over nothing. -------------------- My bands homepage

If you have 2 partitions available, just transfer all important files on the partition that is NOT the system partition. System partition is the one that has WIndows on it. Then just format the system partition and install all the software and drivers again. Make sure you install antivirus FIRST, update it from the internet and immediately scan all the hard drives and USB flash memories you have.

No, he already posted that he cannot install antivirus. Probably the computers drive is already infected. The simple solution would be to try to install AVG, and if it cannot be done, then formatting is only option.
Tolek, if you don't have 2 paritions, just burn the DVD's with backup data and format away. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

Yeah this is the good sequence.
Please do not forget to backup for e-mail PST file etc (if you are using it) and any favorites as well. For step 2, just put your windows install CD into your CD-ROM drive, restart your PC (and make sure it loads the CD-ROM first before HD, you can set this in your BIOS if not set already). Then, remove the C partition in the installation menu of Windows, re-partition it (I would strongly advice at that time to partition in 2 parts (C for all programs, D for all data). Then format the C partition in the same installation menu, and finally let Windows be installed on the C partition. After you have installed anti-virus, let it run through all your files (so both C and D drive), as there may be data files on your PC infected. Good luck!

Tolek,not sure if you formated it already
but first try to install some other antivirus and scan your PC, there are many free softwares out there and perhaps you tried the only one that causes you problems to install it. I don't not how many programs and data you have on your PC but in my case it's much easier to scan everything (even with few different antiviruses) instead of formating my PC and installing everything again.
