ok, ive tried multiple things and even took it to jase's place and he mucked around with it for a while (thanks mate) but it seems to STILL be on here..
ive decided that the only way to ditch it is a format and re-install, but ive never done it before.... how the hell do ya do it??? |

If you know the name of the process that's giving you grief, You could try disabling System Restore, Then re-starting in safe mode and disable it in MSCONFIG ( start>run>MSCONFIG ). Click the 'start up ' tab and un-check the process you want to stop. Should give you the chance to run your anti-virus software.
If you're set on re-formatting , save all your important documents to another partition before you do anything. Best to make sure you have all the drivers for all your hardware components. Depending on the OS and your BIOS settings it'll (the OS) be able to run from the CD. Once it starts running from the CD it's pretty intuitive, Just remember that you want to install a new instance of windows, and format the partition when prompted. |

Before you trash your HDD though make sure you have written down all the fun stuff like you ISP and mail server details etc. Have your system disks, program disks, login details all at hand and you can play with Format c: or Fdisk |
