Yes

It actually is a good idea to put a fresh install once a year or so it will make your computer like brand new.

These viruses can be a real bummer sometimes, to the point I cant even look at an emachine ever again LOL.

Just remember to use your dvd, or back up to keep your important files. I partitioned my hard drive and save all the files in another drive.

Im really enjoying my new computer. The thing flies through anything I do...games
I even connected up both network connections so online gaming is pretty fun LOL
