Answer 2

Making your pc starting all the way to the way your pc was when it was bought? Then reformat you pc buy using the disk that came with the purchase of your computer. then follow the guided instructions... If it's not there, buy it online. usually costs like 20-30 bucks.

or just use system restore like everyone else said above.

or you can also scan ur pc for viruses and delete them.  Because just having 1 virus in your computer and you want to reset it? It's not worth the wait. The good free anti viruses are AVG, Avira, and Avast!. Download the free editions. I have links for those anti-viruses under my sources. And delete any files that contains viruses or are infected.

It is also recommended for you to install anti-spywares too. The good free anti spywares are Spyware Terminator, Spybot Search & Destroy, and Lavasoft Adaware. Be sure to download the free editions. I also have links for those anti-spywares under my sources.

Answer 3

If you have a virus why would you waste your time restoring windows? Or has the virus already screwed up windows? If it hasn't just get like AVG Free and scan it and heal everything and you should be fine other wise just use system restore..... <<
