|  Spyware is invinceable these days
I swear to god spyware is invincible, my desktop backgroun has changed to 'Warning you have spyware' and wont let me change it, i keep getting pop ups saying i have spyware, i open IE and i get a pop up for spyware removers, yet i have AVG, Avast, Spyware Seach and Destroy, Ad-Aware and Stopzilla, and ive done over 6 hours of scanning with them today, found hundreds of spyware. But STILL i get these annpying pop ups and desktop background changes and its really starting to do my head in now. |

I know, but you know how annoying it is to reinstall. I have 10's of gigs of game demo's and paid games that ive downloaded off steam ... and errr im avoiding that at all costs.

That's why you should have a secondary storage drive and just use your primary as your OS drive. Makes life so much easier. I can do a format, reinstall, and setting it all back to how it was before in less then 2 hours.
If for whatever reason you don't have another hd laying around, then I'd suggest that you just partition your main.

And many USB thumb Drives, and many CD-R and DVD-R back ups.
