Resetting my computer to factory settings
Hi everyone, looking for some help. I'll give you guys the rundown.
My computer has become riddled with viruses, some that i know of include a bunch of browser takeover ones that i have tried to get rid of but keep popping up. Whenever i run Security Essentials and MalwareBytes i get lots of stuff popping up and i remove it. My computer has become very slow and annoying to use, so i want to reset it back to factory settings.
Here's my problem though, i dont have any system restore points set up when i got it, i was young and naive, and i dont have the disks anymore to reinstall. I don't care about my files, they can all be wiped, i just wanna have a smooth operating computer again.
I would love any suggestions or tips on how to resolve this issue.
TL;DR
No windows 7 disks, no system restore points, don't care about my files, want to go back to factory settings.
