Default Gateway500 factory Settings


What you need is to use your recovery disk to completely format the hard
drive and install your operating system if you can't get rid of it.

What have you tried so far? Any of the Microsoft Malware tools help?
McAfee Stinger? Or is it so far gone you can't connect to their websites?

I have an access denial virus which is proving impossible to get rid of so
wondered if going back to factory settings would solve the problem

Hi. Please can anyone advise on how to reset PC to factory settings.
Thank you

What is it you are trying to restore?

You can get to the BIOS setup on most by hitting F1 at power on.... a few
used F2.

If you need to restore the flash bios, what OS are you using and do you
have a recovery disk?
