If I upgrade my Vista to Windows 7 computer, it removes a virus on my computer?

I have a Virus or malicious software called Vista Total Security, and my antivirus does not detect, so I thought it would be the perfect excuse to upgrade my computer to Windows 7.

It deletes the virus when I install it?
or I have to re - format Vista and then install windows 7?
Thank you!

Hello

You should never pass a computer with malware or other large
questions unless this upgrade is HIGHLY recommended by
Microsoft to fix the problem. Fix problems then put to level or make a
clean, install with the upgraded version (which removes everything).

Vista Total Security 2011 is known by several names.

Vista Total Security 2011 is a fake antivirus, a scam to force you to pay for it, while it has no advantage at all.

  • Best path Upgrade Ultimate Vista to Windows 7

    I use a 32-bit version of Vista Ultimate, I want to upgrade to Windows 7.  Windows Upgrade Advisor recommends a 32-bit version of Windows 7 Ultimate.  I know that this will be the easiest upgrade, but I have will end up with the best solution?  Would be wiping the drive and made a 64-bit Windows 7 installation in a faster machine or it would be about the same as the 32-bit update?  What are the advantages and disadvantages of a fresh 64-bit install on a 32-bit update?

  • The upgrade from Vista to Windows 7: How can I make sure that I keep Microsoft Office

    A few months back I took advantage of this offer to upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 for a discounted price. After that I downloaded the upgrade file, Upgrade Advisor told me that because I'm using Vista business and I was upgrade 7, that my computer would probably be home must pass through with a 'clean install', thus wiping my hard drive.

    That's fine with me, I could just move my documents and Favorites on an external hard drive. But I'm afraid that the upgrade will be wipe my Microsoft Office programs.

    I bought this computer a few years ago. I don't even know if I bought the program with office bundled with it, or if I bought it separately (and probably the discs are somewhere in storage).

    How can I make this update without losing Microsoft Office? Is it possible to confirm if my word has come with my computer or if I installed it separately. If it came with it, and I lose it, certainly there must be a free way for me to recover. Right?

    Any other advice for someone planning on the upgrade?

    Thank you!

    You're the one who knows if you installed Office.

    Office (Word, etc.) comes for free with Windows. you have to buy.

    If Office is preinstalled, it was a test.

    A clean installation will wipe everything.

    You cannot transfer programs.

    It needs to be reinstalled from the original media.

  • Windows install-"error 1325 - 'Documents' is not a valid short file name"; After upgrading from Vista to Windows 7, cannot load new software. ____

    After an upgrade from Vista to Windows 7, everything on the system seemed to work properly. up to what I tried to re - install everything deleted software or install new software.  As soon as Windows Installer starts the following error message appears: "error 1325 - 'Documents' is not a valid short file name.

    If this could have something to do with the new pads MSFT security permissions on folders (with padlock) during a upgrade as well as related hidden junctions by compared to the user by the system?

    I tried to install the update system of Lenovo and MSFT Windows Installer Clean Up clean in the hope that the software would help alleviate my problems. See below the link on advice from MSFT on the same error.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/%2Fkb%2F328162

    Unfortunately, I cannot even load the previously recommended THAT MSFT software to solve this error.  I also tried to install the software as 'Run as Administrator' and in 'Safe Mode '.  Even if I could not load the software recommended to MSFT, I was able to install iTunes to Apple through Apple Software Update, I guess, that they do not use Windows Installer.

    With the new structure of junction there is several files or links to the same folder across file system, if it is a folder authorization number which specific files/links are I need to remove restrictions?

    Any help would be appreciated, if not I'll have to do a clean install and individually reinstall each piece of software... Thank you.

    I think I found the solution for this point, because I have just encountered the same problem in our environment and here's what I did to solve it:

    -Create a higher level permissions at the root of the folder redirection (for example \\servername\mydocredirfolder): grant the Group authenticated users the following permissions and apply it to "this folder only" ALLOW: list folders/read data, reading, reading attributes, read extended attributes, create files / add data

    I think the MSI is trying to read the free space on the disk on the server, but it cannot because it tries to access the folder where your my documents redirection is sitting.

    Good luck!

    Hello

    You can simply use your brother XP and then upgrade to Vista

    Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

    you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

    Ask them of the exact key sequence

    or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

    Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    they contain all versions of vista
