As I just said (READ THE REPLIES) you NEED a vista disk in order to reinstall to "factory state".

I was going to say you could just get rid of the virus, but if it's infected all the EXE files then you're screwed.

I'm not going to reply to this until you have that disk.

Edit: Alternatively, take it to a computer repair shop, because they'll have a vista disk which they can use. They probably won't charge too much.

ill ask around, but im not sure i can borrow a disk.
