I'd like to erase EVERYTHING from my computer because it's giving me so many pop up screens when I turn it on....it's almost always something different...

 

I don't know if it's because of WinME but it's driving me crazy and I figured that maybe if I take everything out and install a new operating system, maybe it'll work better.

 

I would like to know how I can go about in doing that, though.

Can someone enlighten me? :-|

 

Thanks a lot,

If it's pop-ups, chances are they're just malware that you picked up from on the internet by accident.

 

Anyway, if you want to install a new OS, say, WinXP, just buy a copy, insert the CD, and follow prompts.

 

When you get to a screen asking you what data format you would like to use, just choose the option that says "use NTFS file system (system will be formatted)" or an option along those lines. Everything else is basicallly step by step.

 

If you want to do this in 2 steps, you can also run "fdisk" using a boot floppy, and then formatting your computer in a command line interface.

If you want to remove the adware follow link below. also do a search on your system for .js files. Ad-Ware
