If you want to be extra sure, download Spybot Search and Destroy and immunize and scan your machine. That should clean up 99% of the problems you have. If there's nothing critical on there, I still think you should blow away the OS and start from scratch. That's really the only way of knowing for sure that you don't have any type of spyware, malware or virus infection.

Like Underscore mentioned, if you download Windows 7, it's going to be an iso. Download, burn and throw it in the CD ROM drive. If you want to create a bootable USB, then you'll need to mount it with PowerIso or Daemon Tools and copy the install files to a USB drive.

I think AVG was one of the things that messed up my computer to begin with, about 2 months ago it wasn't letting me use anything on my computer saying that my trial was over or something along those lines >.< but I'll definitely try spybot etc. thanks
