Hi dudes I am having a serious problem. There is a virus in my machine (appudate.exe). My anti-virus can detect it but can not delete it. So i have decide to reinstall windows. I have already back up of all of my docs.I tried making image back up and install windows again. But when i create image back up, it backs up all of my applications and of course with that virus. So it has no use. I just need to back up windows7 only. not my installed programs. My machine is a dell and they didn't provide windows Cd. Plz help me. I am having serious problem.
If the machine came with windows 7, reboot, press f8 a few times, Go to windows repair and their should be an option their to do a dell factory image restore. Run this and it will do a fresh install of windows 7 Otherwise, there is nothing you can do, unless you have a windows 7 serial key on your computer (which you should... i assume), download a relevant windows 7 torrent, as you have the right to own a copy of it...
