Will restoring my computer to it’s factory default remove all viruses and spyware?

May 29th, 2010

Christy asked:


In the past week, I have been having spyware and pop-up problems on my computer. I want to just erase EVERYTHING and start from scratch. If I run the backup program for my computer and erase everything and restore it to its original condition, will this erase viruses and spyware?

Is it possible for a defective DVD drive to cause a computer to crash?

February 13th, 2010

JimmyDean asked:


I have a Compaq Presario 2190US laptop w/ a 2.4GHz Celeron, 512MB RAM & WinXP Pro. w/SP2. Every now & then my system crashes and I get the blue screen of death. Usually I get 1 of 2 msgs. Both state that “A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down…” etc. The technical information on one msg says *** STOP: 0X0000008E (0XC0000005, 0XECF27249, 0X81CAD50C, 0X00000000)
NAVEX15.SYS – Address ECF27249 base at ECEBF000, DateStamp 45b5675a

The other msg starts the same way and adds “PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA”. The technical information says: *** STOP: 0X00000050 (0X951F74E0, 0X00000001, 0X8054AE34, 0X00000000)

Whichever msg comes up, it then proceeds to dump the physical memory to disk.

My DVD combo drive skips around DVDs (frequently if I try to go fast forward or backward). Recently, I used a CD drive cleaning CD. It seems better. Might be coincidence, though. Prior to cleaning the drive, the laptop crashed even when playing MP3s off the HDD.

check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed. if this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufacturer for any windows updates u my have.
if problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. disable bios memory such as caching or shadowing.
