</div>Perhaps. But from the discussion so far it looks like the ill-advised is<br>
the route they want to take.<br>
<br>
This route may...may...reduce the problems at first to a more treatable<br>
level, though. At first. As long as it's done behind firewalls of some<br>
sort until updates and AV can be installed.It would still be best to<br>
format the entire drive, which can't be done if you run the installer<br>
files from the drive you're installing to...so copy the files elsewhere<br>
first, like a CD.</blockquote><div><br>Thanks that was my next question and yes I already copied all the hard drive on Ubuntu because I think my knowledge of Windows is next to 0 and I am sure I will make a few mistakes. No No firewall or anything just no internet connection to this computer for now. If I can reinstall the system I'll put an anti virus before to put it back on internet or give it back to my neighbor.<br>
<br>Thank you<br><br>Meg<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><br>
