I have a dell laptop. It has become completely infected with a virus. I know the hard drive is infected because it has shut down administrator and keeps showing warning that system 32 is not usable. I would like to completely wipe out my hard drive bringing it back to factory status but I don’t have the restore disk. Is this something I can do without the disk? If so, how? Thanks!
I don’t have the recovery disk for the laptop and I don’t have any for any of the other computers as well. Never got one with them.

the only way other than ripping it out of your computer is too download something and without administrator approval that may be tough or impossible, one thing to try, go into safe mode, restart, press ” F 8 ” repeatedly, and download this to clean it up, it is one of the elites..
