| | Will reinstalling/formatting Windows 7, make it run fresh? Well, I just wanted to ask if Formatting and Reinstalling Windows 7 would make it run like fresh? Like new, my PC has weirdly gotten slower, I know why. From Downloading, random stuff. So would reinstalling make this better? My Internet is also slowing down. Thanks, I am new here. By the way, and should be posting here frequently. |

| | The things you describe can be causes by malware and viruses. Are you running antivirus? When's the last time you did a scan for malware and viruses? I'm only asking because I have quite a few Windows 7 computers that have been running solid for a few years without any need to reformat. |
