Old pc back to Zero state?!

Tia_Maria06

Morning...

Right the laptop is a write off, so back to using this old pc for now!

I would like to get it back to just having my basics on it like when i bought it.

I bought from Acer and didnt get a OS disc. It takes 20 mins to start and is so so slow... please help

TIA x

Uninstall everything you dont want

Download CCLEANER (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION' ~ make sure YAHOO TOOLBAR is unticked on installation)
http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/
Run the CLEANER scan (UNTICK 'cookies')
Then run the REGISTRY scan (Backup the registry when it asks)

reboot

Download HIJACK THIS (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION')
http://www.filehippo.com/download_hijackthis/
Click DO A SCAN AND SAVE A LOGFILE (Takes seconds) then post the log so we can see whats running
(do NOT do anything else with Hijack but scan and post the FULL log)

I have performed the cleaner scan and at the bottom of its window it says "analyse" and "run cleaner"

and then on the registry button, i ran that and it never asked me to back up. it now says "scan for issues" or fix selected..

Seeing that Rik's offline at the mo - thought I'd jump in.

Click on "Run Cleaner" on the Cleaner tab, and "Scan for Issues" on the Registery tab and it will then ask you to back up before fixing anything found.
