There are many free wipe programs now available and easily found on the internet.
You do need to educate yourself in internet security so that it doesn't happen again. I've been virus free and spyware free for 5 years now, even on the machines I don't have any protection on.
Check the stuff that came with your laptop to see if there is a 'restore' disk. This would wipe and reinstall your computer automatically.

Hi. I would try cleaning the junk out first. Download some free programs such as CCleaner, ewido, AdAware, Spybot. Run them then defragment. You should see an good improvement. Other wise just reformat the drive and reinstall everything.

only one and the best way to do it..."when you first bought your computer.. it came with a Windows CD in a CD case." , put that into your cd drive and follow the instructions to "kinda start over again", and you will have a new Computer pretty soon. :D

Boot from the Windows install disk - in the setup program - make sure you repartition/format the drive to clear it.
