I mentioned in my previous post that a new computer is not an option at this time.

Installed Window's 7 on mine last night, the whole operation went as smooth as a smooth thing can go from formating till the minute every thing was back up and running, went to add all my saves from my external hard drive then realised i forgot to unplug the f,ing thing and it got formatted as well, lost everything i had saved
This may seem to be a stupid question but since we have so many computer guru's on here I'll ask, just because I have a Dell computer that does not mean I cannot change my operating system does it??
My current OS is Windows XP, yah I know old school but it was working just fine, but I would like to know what other OS's others recommend? Another issue I'm worried about is the current issue I'm having with threats and not being able to re-install my McAfee protection, I'm lost and Dell wants $90 to remove these threats .
My new hard drive is barely one week old so can anyone offer me assistance in removing these threats so I can re-install my anti-virus and save my new hard drive???? I can purchase a new OS with my Santa money but I want to be sure I'm taking the right path.
thanks,

I just spoke with a friend and via his instructions have now removed the threats and re-installed McAfee so I am 99.99% happy. That last 1% is this darn tool bar that keeps popping up with "Internet Explorer is currently running with add-ons disabled" and I cannot get the daym thing to go away !!!
I have tried that mate yet I'm not getting the delete option?

Go to tools > manage add ons > enable/disable. Assuming you are running a newer version of Internet Explorer that is.
My advice: download Mozilla Firefox and use that to browse the net. It's a far better program.
Also download Malwarebytes, it's the best free anti spy/mal/adware program. Update and run and it'll get anything bad that's left on your comp.
