The most common misconception is that anti-malware software can return files to their previous states. Each web site has something else to watch out for and this step was not mentionned on many of the other web sites. Some of the information in your post I did not understand. What did you mean by tied to the bios? And what did you be by pre-activated? What does activating windows mean?
If I use the reinstallation disk for reinstallation then at a later time if the operating system need to be repaired is that possible with the reinstallation CD? If I have the option to install the operating system using an installation cd will I then not have more options in case a later repair is needed?
Sometime in Microsoft will have windows 8. If there is a small chance that this computer which is 1. Otherwise I will have used either a dell reinstallation cd which has windows xp home sp2 or a new windows xp professional sp2 depending on which gives the most flexability or options for any possible future operating system repairs. I had bought my dell inspiron laptop computer in and had the hard drive replaced in When the hard drive was replaced under extended warantee dell sent to me another set of installation disks.
So I no long can tell which is the old and which is the new on some of the disks. I'll list all the disks I have and their contents.
The above 12 disks are what I have for the reinstallation and some are either duplicates or updates. I do not want to install the McAfee antivirus and I am not sure whether it will be automatically installed or whether it is an option.
I would like to reinstall MSE. I may need to install the McAfe and then uninstall. If i have to install Mcafee then the add remove programs failed to uninstall all of the antivirus software and I will then need to run the special removal tool again. Is this something I can download now onto the external hard drive and use when needed or must I have a downloaded browser and an internet connection to get and properly use this antivirus software removal tool. Bear indicated that with the combined issues that i am having that I have malware.
This is in spite of the numerous malware scans whether norton, trend micro, hijackthis, kapersky etc. There was a period of time in which i did not actively update the antivirus definitions and this convinced him that this must be a malware problem. So it seems sensible to replace the operating system and just make sure all the bases are covered. At the same time I would like to understand if there is a way to determine if corrupted files are the problems and if there is no detected malware by numerous scans whether corrupted files can be fixed.
That is does windows xp give you the option to run a repair with either the reinstallation disk or a brand new installation disk? If you have no detected malware and then perform a repair and the system appears to work normally again is the problem that the malware still has altered the registry and this is missed by the repair tool?
So it is essentially an incomplete repair? Is that the reason for always doing a complete reinstall or is it something else? Based on what I know as of this moment I would make these steps and i bet there are lots of errors. But here goes anyway.
Please correct me anywhere I get the steps out of order, make a mistake or miss a step. Currently I am backing up my documents and desktop but I will need to learn how to backup files of contacts within microsoft outlook, aol etc. This has already been done with MS and malwarebytes. These are potentially malware contaminated files but since they are not the operating system files and since they passed the malware scans they are safe to reinstall?
Will one of the windows updates convert xp sp2 into xp sp3? Will there be numerous reboots with numerous updates. This is likely to take one or more hours? When I was having the problems I checked the hardware on my computer by booting and pressing the f12 key. This opened dell diagnostics and all of the hardware passed.
It skipped one step and that was flashing the bios. I have a dead battery and it indicated that it only can flash the bios with battery power. If flashing a bios is a part of the windows installation process then It would fail at that point as I will only have electrical power. I hope that this is not a part of the reinstall process. If it is then I would need to get a battery before I replace the operating system.
I have not set up microsoft outlook since 5 years ago and no longer remember how to do that. But I anticipate I will need to get isp codes or use smtp or something like that? I'll have to google search for the aol configuration too.
