you should have gotten a disc with your computer when you bought it. put that disc in the dvd drive and restart the computer. when you restart your computer it should say press any key to boot from cd or dvd. press any key and then follow the steps. it is pretty easy to do, as long as you have the disc handy. if it does not say press any key to boot from cd or dvd, then you have to go in to bios setup and change your boot priority so that the dvd or cd drive is the first boot device.
Well, your computer came with a disk. Just insert it and follow the instructions. (It should guide you step by step).
To prevent that from happening again, download a good anti-virus program such as MalwareBytes and scan your computer regularly. You also may want to invest in an external hard drive to put your music, photos, etc. on in case this were to ever happen again so you don’t lose it. (Happened to me, twice.)
You need the operating system disc most of all… If you reformat, you need to reload the whole operating system. First, try restoring it to an earlier time. If that doesn’t work…
Place the operating disk in your drive, and reboot the computer. As it’s starting to boot up, press the F12 (usually, depending on your computer), and you’ll get a menu asking you where you want to boot from. Choose the CD option (you’ll be booting from the CD itself). During the installation progress, it will ask if you want to reformat your drive.
You actually don’t need to reformat your computer unless you really want to. Follow this link:http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-re…
