Windows 10: I had a virus or something that I deleted, but some of the stuff from it is still there

There are some shortcuts to apps that I've deleted that I can't get delete, also a giant search bar that I can't get rid of

:)

Reboot Virus Deletion?

Alright, so I think I have a virus that my computer isn't detecting. None of my processes seem suspiscious, but just to be safe, I'd like to re-install Vista. I have an iMac. I use a program called Boot Camp to partion the HDD so I can install/uninstall Vista on the alternate partion. If I delete the Vista partion, and reinstall Vista, will everything be deleted, including the virus? By the way, I think it could be the csrss.exe virus thing. Not really asking help to remove it, just if the above would work. Thanks *Smile

 

Delete or move some Win10 stuff


Tks guys - this is a new Acer V 15 Nitro with all the goodies on it so nothing old to delete.

It came with Win 8.1 and I upgraded to Win 10. The only other things on it at this time are Bitdefender, a game, Nvidia folder, a few odd stuff which I am moving to D: and the Nvidia folder for the video card.

I was not sure if the anti-virus should be on the SSD or not - If it will work just as well on D: I will put it there.

I will go through your steps and see how it comes out.

Again, tks - I appreciate it. - jb

Edit - If I delete the Windows.old folder will Microsoft still be able to see that this computer came with Win 8.1 and I upgraded to Win 10 if I should ever need that info in the future?
