If I buy this rummage sale computer, how do I clean any possibly illegal content off it and start over?

Ive heard horror stories about this sort of thing.

  1. do a fresh install of windows, or whatever OS u plan to use, making sure to use the format drive option when doing so.
  2. just do a unconditional format on your hard drive, repartition it ( maybe 70% / 30% ) and then install windows again.....
  3. start the computer with a boot disk and format the drive at least 8 times Visit this site on another computer and search for a free programme to format in disk utility http://www.pctoptips.co.uk/ After you get it going use this site to download free anti virus software to keep it safe
