Windows 10: CPU

I wonder how the cleaning is going?? I hope it works out but if it doesn't it might be time to do a clean instillation of 10.

 

I'm having trouble with eset install it took me off line and locked up my sys. and said it cant find the free licence key Last night I crashed the computer I was tired and in a hurry tried to dnld and inst two big softwares at the same time I had to do a clean boot to get it back up I don't know if that's what your talking about just tried to reinstall eset and still had trouble what would a clean install do take out the apps but leave the files pswds and reinstall windows ??

 

Peter,
You do not need to do a clean install !

Please do not install any new program's until the cleaning up process is finished.

 

Some one who now's how to use ESET will be here shortly.

 

Yes, Peter, Computiac is correct in saying a clean install is not needed at thsi point. Please do not do something you can't put back. A clean clean install will put you back to ground zero. Please read or re-read my post #46 above. CPU - Page 5 - Windows 10 Forums

 

I did some thing wrong that's what i thought anyway

 

You did not do anything wrong. You are doing fine so far.
We will help you get your system clean and running great, it take's a little time.

 

ESET should cause no problems at all. Did you disable your Trend Micro first? Try that and see if it helps.

A clean install would install only the Operating System and the Apps that come with it. You would have to reinstall all software yourself and set up your accounts. You would need to back up all user files to an external source first. It would, in effect, give you a completely clean system without any programs you are now having to uninstall and get rid of.

At this point, I have seen nothing that would make a clean install necessary unless you would rather just start out clean and fresh. Most of what I have seen can be cleaned up, but it will take a lot of time and effort, much like a clean install. That decision is yours and yours alone. Without knowing what software you have installed and what malware there is on your current install, no one can say which is the best to do, other than the fact that a clean install is never wrong, just in a lot of cases not necessary.

 

Ok F14 Tomcat I crashed the comp. last night I had to go to safe boot to bring it up it took about 3.5 hrs to come back it took out the apps some other stuff but left the files and reinstalled windows I ran a malwarebyte again and it came back totally clean what more do you want me to do and I will do it

 

essenbe I will take out trend micro and reinstall eset you had a link that also went with the eset link last night didn't you if so I never used it ok I'll be back in a minute

 

Peter, are you saying you did a Reset through Safe Mode?
