    Hi Guys, My PC has been infected with spywares and what not lol..

    No.

    Stay in Safe Mode with Networking and google "virus-name removal instructions" and you'll get a heap of removal guides. If not, take Jew Bear's advice:

    Backup, Reinstall, done.

    No, you need to get a anti-virus system I think and scan and remove all threats. Hope this helps

    Your best bet is to back up and reinstall, that will completely remove it. If nit download AVG anti-virus free edition and scan that. I'll try to get a few other recommended programmes when I get home this evening.

    We don't know what process you are talking about because you haven't mentioned what sort of virus or whatever you have got. If you are talking about the process you have read on another site.

    Don't do a full system restore without backing up anyway - but there are much more simpler ways, most people have already suggested

    Saving all of your important files to an external device like a USB stick or an external hard drive. That way, when you reinstall your operating system (which deletes all of your files), you won't lose anything important.
    It's also a good idea to back up your files regularly even if you aren't planning on reinstalling your OS, just in case something happens to your computer.
