IF I restore my computer to the factory settings with the recovery disk that came with the system, will it remove 100% of bad stuff(pop ups, virus)

    yep…and the first thing to do after you perform the restore?? load a good spyware software like Ad-aware by Lavasoft (the free version works great) also you can get AVG anti-virus for free (and it works better IMO than Norton)

    Yes, It will format your drive and reinstall the OS.

    Best way to make sure you are virus free!

    Not sure, but it’s much simpler to run an anti-virus program and ad-aware.

    Yes, unless you have a "rootkit"
