Hello,
I have a Dell Inspiron 15 laptop with Windows 8 that is infected with a Trojan Virus. The laptop has crashed and will no longer boot to Windows.
My question is- Before I re-install the OS with my recovery media, do I need to do any kind of low level/standard format of the hard drive to get rid of the virus?? Or can I just do a clean install of the OS to be rid of the virus completely??
