Whos computer is it? if its urs, or if u have more duty and majority over it. I suggest u write 0's to the harddrive, not take a pen to it and write 0's. But writing 0's will make sure the harddrive is absolutely clean with no bugs, unlike formatting as it leaves tidbits of info here and there. Now u will have to find the make of your harddrive first, and the get the brand number it has as well. Once u have that, goto google or the harddrive manufactuers home page. and look for some program for that harddrive that can write 0's. This will take 24 - 48hrs to do this so be warned lol. But i quaratee u that it will delete all viruses, spyware and any other junk thats on there; it even does a defrag lol. now if u have majority over the computer then i suggest u make 1 account with a password that no one can figure out (when u have reinstalled windows). If your brother wants to go on, watch em like a hawk no matter what he does.
being doing this stuff for 6 years, and sometimes it gets boring here and there as its the same mumble jumble blah blah blah. So far i havent found a computer that has given me a challenge yet to try and clean up and hopefully its recoverable. They say its good to have a registry backup, but that i dont believe, cause there are viruses out there that will attack that as well. If you want a computer to work well, get a good firewall, anti virus program, trustworthy ad busters. and once u have a computer that is up and running with all security installed and what not with no games. If u have norton or another program that can copy the harddrive to another harddrive then i suggest u do it. Back up harddrives that are prepped for ne thing are ze best. got a few of em in my drawers incase ne thing goes wrong. O yeah if updates come out for the operating system and such, always update as well. If you have burning software, get updates for other programs. Usually call those install disc's, and those will come in handy later on down the road. Ill also be writing a basic guide soon to show and tell how to keep a computer clean, and a advanced guide for da nerdies (like me lol) of how to make sure its clean in the background. (sometimes i hate the registry
lol)
Ah well happy computing peoples.
