Make sure you have all your original software handy.

Backup any photos, videos, documents, etc you wish to keep

Boot to DOS command prompt

Format C:

Confirm "Y" you wish to delete entire hard drive

Reinstall windows

Reload all other software from discs.

Restore photos videos and documents

Run Windows update

You have a new, clean computer, fast and malware-free.

Repeat AT LEAST once every year.
