Hi, being a novice in the vast world of internet science I have consequently been contaminated by several adware/malware intruders! During the clean up process (trying to eliminate ?ATI?) I have to reinstall Windows XP for stability! I purchased the lap top with Win XP already installed therefore have no CDRom to complete this. I do have a very thin Windows manual with various addresses and serial numbers, however I remain unsure how to do this! Plus will rebooting the system mean I loose all the other software I've bought and installed? I do know that I have taken "snap shots" of the system prior to viral searches etc. Would it be possible to reinstall that way and eliminate the contaminants another way? Help please, I realy feel like I've opened a can of worms!!
Saja1!
