If you're going to clean install, don't even bother with that problem.
The reinstall should solve everything.

i know but it will never ask yes or no in the reinstall?
No, it won't.
Shawn (vegas), Welcome to Sevenforums.
From your questions, I would guess you might not know a whole lot about computers. Don't get me wrong, I am not trying to offend, but sometimes educating oneself on "staying safe online" is well worth the time it takes to read a few articles. Here are some that might help you out tremendously:
I believe each of these will help you better understand computers and how to keep yourself safe online. Make sure you have an antivirus installed after you 'clean' reinstall your computer with Windows 7.

Also, I believe it is near impossible for 8 hackers to have gained access to your computer. And why would they want to? However, you may have multiple viruses/malware/spyware/trojans. Some of these can send personal data elsewhere, or just simply wreck havok on your system. Thus I am also recommending the clean reinstall so that you might start fresh (the viruses, etc will all be erased).
Thanks for the input Dusty, I appreciate it. :)
You can't click Yes on UAC prompts because you've likely been set up as a Standard User, which requires an Administrative password to make changes to the computer.
This will be solved during Clean Reinstall when you type in your Name for your Account which will be an Administrative-level account. You'll still be warned when changes are being made to your computer, but you can click right through them.
Be sure to install MSE and the other recommended programs to setup and maintain your new Win7 flawlessly. I would not add any other maintenance apps at all, especially tweaking or registry cleaner apps. Be very careful about what you install, ask back if you have any questions, and watch every step during installing a program so that no toolbars, search services or other spyware sneaks in.
I bought a toshiba 675-7052 satelite 3 yers ago set up by geek squad which i thought was a good thing. turns out its been a nightmare for 3 years . I have restored my disks i bought from toshiba at least 100 + times. and same thing happens every time i do a factory default with the disks. it goes through the setup like 4 times on black screen and always installs the stupid best buy icon and i swear its the virus or malware!!!!! its so out of control I have 0 of it on my own comp. so what im asking is after i hit finish on the factory defaullt software, how can i prevent a team of remote people from getting in my computer? It takes about 5 min to b so out of whack I am about to throw in towel. HELP suggestions before i hit the finish button on the recovery complete? I pray so also on the restall it says 0-464 and its 465 that needs to b downloaded. i think the 1 kb or mb whatever is the culprate. Thanks
Sucks that 80 people stopped at this even in chillout room and didnt wanna help. My comp is still sitting with the restore done ready for me to hit finish. But i need advice 1st
