How to Reload Windows After a Virus Attack


Although all versions of Windows have certain precautions to protect from attacks by computer viruses, there are still a great number of viruses that can affect the operating system in a negative way. These viruses don't only affect the operating system, but the anti-virus programs that might be installed on your computer as well. If you find yourself in such a situation, you can reload Windows in safe mode and activate your anti-virus software from there to take back your system.


Instructions

1
Press and hold the "Power" button on your computer until it shuts down completely. Press the button again to turn the computer back on.

2
Hold the "F8" key while the computer is booting. Doing so will bring up the computer's boot menu.

3
