Malware effecting system after reinstalling windows?

[Patrick Ballou]

I had some serious Malware issues so I decided to reinstall windows 7 and start fresh. I've had to do this a few times over the past two years or so, but this time was worse than usual. Windows explorer was crashing, and then I started getting a black screen of death upon system boot.

After reinstalling windows, my USB network adapter stopped workiING. I just plugged in another that works on my other computer and installed its drivers but no networks will show up on this computers list still.

Is this most likely a network card problem created from the Malware?

After reinstalling windows, I still have all of the old folders in my c drive. Some of these date back to 2007, before I even owned this computer, and have been there after previous times reinstalling windows using pirated copies.

Using and asking for help the pirated copy that is against the our site's rule. http/www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2083471/read-forum-rules-styling-posts.html
