Bollo Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Heya, about 1 year ago i got a new PC. My computer got really slow and have 100's of virus so i thought it would be fast for XP my comuter when delete it all so i tried XP my PC.I realised that i didn't have a XP disc. i was thinking is there anyway to get a copy of XP disc with buying it new, i have the Product key on top of the PC but it didnt come with a XP disc. I also can't get a disc from the company because the company is gone bust and they no longer in buisness...What could i do? :S I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 OK, if you are prepared to listen, maybe there is hope B) What computer make is it? Some computers have a hidden partition that contains the Windows install.But before you install Windows, you should know that you will needa firewallanti-virusanti-spywareto protect you against malware. You will also have to learn how to be careful when surfing the web, and opening email from unknown sources. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 how would i find out if i got a hidden partitionOpen Control Panel | Administrative Tools | Computer Management | Storage | Disk Management.I have the 3 things you said, Just got Sky and it comes with McAfees 12 month protection.If you have McAfee active protection, how come you have hundreds of viruses? It is very, very rare that even one virus gets past McAfee - did you disable it, or what did you do to get infected? Ah, or was that before you got McAfee?If you have McAfee installed now, make sure the virus definitions are up-to-date, then run a full scan on your system. It may actually clean up most of the mess.As for other malware; what anti-spyware do you have installed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
