Doing a partial reinstall of windows without formatting the C drive never works properly and certainly won’t get rid of a virus. The question is, do you really need to do this?
A scan with a good antivirus program should get rid of any virus, spyware, trojan or other malicious software. You should not have to reinstall windows just to get rid of a virus.
To get a good antivirus program, go to http://www.datadefender.net and look at the reviews and comparisons for leading antivirus programs. There are links to the various manufacturers sites so that you can download one of them and clean up your computer today.
All of them do free trials (30 days or 15 days depending on which company) so you can try before you buy if you want to.
You should try to clean your system this way before reinstalling Windows. Good luck!
Do you actually have a virus and if so what is it called?
A virus is a file or series of files, therefore all you have to do is remove the file(s).
This does not require that you reformat your computer.
