Should I do a reinstall of windows 7 on new sager laptop?
I have a Dell xps 8100 and a asus u45jc-a1 that i had did a clean reinstall due to both computers being very slow and also because i believe theres lot of virus/bloatware in it.
I bought a new sager laptop because i needed a fast computer thats quad core and wanted one where i wouldn't download anything that could be virus in it. When i first got the laptop, it was very fast. I made sure to not put any files in it or download anything that might have a virus.
However, I did have a usb flash drive that had files there and i had put into the sager laptop slot and opened few of those documents up. I had thought as long as i dont transfer those files to my computer, thus as long as i dont copy and paste it to my computer, it was safe. This was until i read if a usb flash drive is infected, even putting it inside a usb port or opening a document from it on a computer could transport a virus.
The thing is at that time, i then decided to scan both usbs that i had and both of them had an auto.inf that i read suggest is most likely a virus. I have an old 2.0 usb and a new 3.0 usb. The thing is with the 2.0 usb, i later saw that after i deleted a few programs off the usb... instead of the usb being shown as an image.. there was no image at all. I read that was another sign of it being infected. So i then deleted everythign on it and then formatted it. Now the usb when checking it in my computer, theres an image there now, and as oppose to no image.
The thing is i noticed that after i put the 3.0 usb into my new laptop, it seemed like my computer got a bit slower as well. I then used superantispyware and it saw over 100 adware/spyware in it each time i scan the computer daily after that date.
Should i do a complete reinstall of my new sager laptop again?
