I’ve found this laptop for sale and the owner claims it has a virus she didn’t want to mess with so bought a new computer. Would it be difficult to get rid of the virus, especially if you aren’t interested in anything but the software on it or would you have to replace it, and how would you get rid of it? Would software manufacturers replace the original software for free or would you have to buy new? The sale price is 0 and it’s use would be very basic, word processing and internet for e-mail and limited surfing. Would you buy this computer, assuming you are very computer savvy?
It would not be difficult to fix it at all. You can get rid of a virus simply by reinstalling the operating system. The software could simply be downloaded from torrents for free.
You can fix the Virus, by reinstalling the Operating System itself, but it deletes all the existing data .
If you don’t know how to do it just hit the net as you are getting this Laptop at a good price.
