How do I reformat my laptop?
My Sony Vaio laptop apparently picked up a virus when I tried to use a hotel internet recently on vacation. Now when I start it up, WindowsXP begins like normal, but afterwards I am left with a screensaver and no icons to click on. The arrow still moves around. Is reformatting my only option? I've tried starting it up while holding down the Control key which gives me a few things to try (debugging mode, etc.) but I am still left with the same result. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
