I have a anti spyware and anti virus, but I want to clean the whole computer, almost like it is new again.

If you have the RESTORE disk, use that. Otherwise, it will take some work.

You should use several solutions. Start with an anti-virus program. You should have an anti-spyware solution on your computer. I recommend that you go to http://www.download.com and get AD-AWARE and SpyBot Search & Destory. Install, run, update and scan your computer with both programs.

Also, go to the Control Panel and pick ADD/REMOVE Programs. Look for bogus programs that you installed.

Good luck and Happy Computing

Spybot-S&D Free. http://www.safer-networking.org/en/mirrors/index.html
Spybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.

The problem is that virusses these days are so tough and every anti-virus might be so good, but each of them spot different virusses. A good way is to look on the internet for common antivirus programs and install, scan and remove them again.
Secondly, install all Windows updates and make sure windows firewall is on. Note that windows update is the most important security for your computer.

Get a copy of System Mechanic 7. You can set this to tune up your computer daily, if you like. I run mine once per week. It runs late night while I am sleeping.
