I need to uninstall everthing on my computer

I need to uninstall everything on my computer - lose all folders and so on, because I appaerantly have a virus or a bug that makes my folders and hide documents. I'm not serious of them - but I don't know how to reset / uninstal my computer.
Any help?

Most laptops and many OEM desktop computers (HP, Sony, etc.) come with a picture of factory restore on a special partition on the hard drive. The factory restore process is normally called by pressing a key of function (such as F11) to start the computer. There will be a message as to what function key press the screen when you start your computer. You can also consult the manual of your computer or the computer mftr.'s site, or contact technical support to learn how to restore your computer if you plant from each computer mftr. He does it differently - sometimes even between models.

These machines also generally have a utility to create physical recovery disks in case the hard drive needs to be replaced or the factory restore image is somewhat damaged. If you have not created the recovery image recovery physical and/or damaged disks, contact technical support of computer mftr. to order a set of recovery disks. It is normally very expensive, around $20-25.

  • do I need to uninstall Chrome before you install Firefox?

    don't know how or if Chrome will interfere with Firefox. I have used Chrome for years but want to switch to Firefox by recommendation of my daughter. Thank you.

    You don't need to uninstall chrome if you have enough storage. This will not affect your browsing with Firefox. Even if you want, you can import your settings and favorites of Chrome that you have used for a long time.
    You can see the article getting started with Firefox – an overview of the main features and the import bookmarks and the personal data from another browser. Welcome to Firefox!

    But having said that it will not affect your browsing with Firefox, Chrome silently installs an audio headphones and start when you start your computer, then you can uninstall it if you care about your privacy.

  • Office 2007 will not completely uninstall off of my computer

    Here are my problems but first a bit of history. I bought a Dell Studio 17 "computer laptop September 2008 and it came with a full version of Office 2007 Home and student pre installed. I also have a WinMobile phone HTC Touch Pro and HTC Mogul who at the time I had no idea that when I was before sync my phone on my old computer necessary for Outlook to manage my contacts. Since home and student does not come with outlook, I didn't see any need to have. But I upgraded my phone winmobile for the HTC Touch Pro and tried to sync it with the new laptop (all my info from the previous phone was transferred to the new) and it wipe all my info contact out of my phone. I was livid to say the least. I came to these forums to find out why this is when I discovered after reading that Outlook is necessary. Well I'll admit I was annoyed beggars belief, because that would mean I have to buy prospects for this computer because I had my old office 2003 computer. I was given when Office 2007 came out an illegitimate copy Office 2007 Enterprise which I haven't used, I decided since she had Outlook on that I would install it comes from OUTLOOK. I did it and I had no problem. It was in 2008. Fast forward to about October 2009 I started getting this message that Outlook was not a copy of Geniune and I had x number of days to correct the problem. Although the elapsed time and I finally decided that I spend the money and buy a copy of included Office Outlook. I thought the price for Outlook itself was just crazy. Anyway, I installed it on the computer and I still get this message. Then I realized that I need to uninstall home and students, as well as versions of company I. I did and I still get the message. Then I uninstalled all versions and reinstalled the new Office Pro Plus I bought and I still get the message. What I discovered is that all attempts to uninstall these programs does not work. Because after the uninstall, and then reinistalling to opening Outlook I find that all the previous contacts, e-mails, appointments, and tasks are still there. I even used the MS fix utlitiy to remove the Office off the computer and everything what was freezing my computer. I had to do a repair after using this utility. Correct me if I'm wrong, but when you uninstall something you shouldn't be able to see everything that was in that program after you have reinstalled the right? My contacts, appointments, tasks and messages are still there as if I did nothing right with this annoying message on the program not being is not Geniune. Removed software in the mess at the origin of this problem?

    I said all that to this very important question. HOW CAN I PERMANENTLY (WITHOUT LEAVINIG TRACK OF THE PROGRAM) UNINSTALL OFFICE 2007 ON MY COMPUTER? Difficulty of MS it and Add / Remove Programs did not work. What will be?  Help, please. HTC Touch Pro

  • Do I need to uninstall my printer before moving on to Windows 10?

    I have a new Epson printer XP-320 I just installed.  Do I need to uninstall it, before moving on to Windows 10?

    Also, I have a genealogy program on my computer.  Do I need to uninstall?

    Finally, should I do something with my McAfee Antivirus before installing the Windows 10.

    I currently have Windows 7 Home Premium.

    No, but you should disconnect and all other non-essential programs.

    Task of pre-required

    When you make significant changes to your computer for example updated operating system, you must always back up. See the links to resources on the backup by clicking the link for each version of Windows you are using: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1

    • Turn off (preferably uninstall) your Antivirus utility before you perform the upgrade.
    • Reboot several times and try again.
    • Disable the general USB peripherals (for example - smart card reader).
    • If you are using a SCSI drive, make sure you have the drivers available for your storage on a thumdrive device and it is connected. During the installation of Windows 10, click on the advanced custom Option and use the command load driver to load the driver for the SCSI drive. If this does not work and the installer still fails, consider switching to an IDE based hard drive.
    • Do a clean boot, and then try again.
    • If you upgrade to the. ISO file, disconnect from the Internet during the installation, if you are connected in LAN (Ethernet) or wireless, disable both and try the installation again.
    • If you update via Windows Update, when download reaches 100%, disconnect the Internet LAN (Ethernet) or wireless, and proceed with the installation.
    • If this does not work, try using the. ISO file to upgrade if possible.
    • If you are connected to a domain, go to a local account
    • If you have an external equipment, attached to the machine, unplug them (example, game controllers, USB sticks, external hard drive, printers, peripherals not essential).

  • A hard drive with my Adobe leases was virus-infested and destroyed before Adobe products could be uninstalled. I had to uninstall the 2nd install computer (laptop) in order to install on my new desk. I would like to reinstall it on

    A hard drive with my Adobe leases was virus-infested and destroyed before Adobe products could be uninstalled.

    I had to uninstall the 2nd install computer (laptop) in order to install on my new desk.

    I would like to reinstall on my laptop but cannot because there is no way for me to uninstall from the destroyed hard drive.

    Your instructions tell me to contact me about this.

    Help, please!

    Normally, you do not have to uninstall anything, you only need to disable. You didn't need to uninstall on the laptop, nor do you need to turn it off.  If it is for the creative cloud then you should be able to install and connect on the laptop now and he is likely to ask you if you would allow all other facilities to be disconnected.  You can select Yes which will erase all of the activations, and then after that the laptop is turned on you can connect on the new desktop still once more.
