In order to take a major standardized exam on my laptop, I am required to have a clean hard drive, with no data except what is necessary to write the exam. Unfortunately, I am not allowed to use software that blocks access to my hard drive while writing the exam. I really don’t want to lose all of my data and programs — is there a way to move the contents of my current hard drive on to an external drive? Or will I either have to erase everything or get a new computer? I am especially concerned about my itunes library, I have had difficulties after transferring music files between user accounts on my hard drive in the past. Thank you for your help!!!

I dont want to download any programs or buy anymore program, they dont work. Ive tried Norton, Trend Micro, spy-bot and ad-aware. Nothings worked. Not one bit. Can I completely clean my computer like reformating it. Just completely clean it, like starting from a clean slate or something?
btw i dont know they exact names of the viruses. My computer says they are trojans, backdoors, etc.
What is formatting? I have never heard of it.

I have Windows XP and I cleaned up my desktop and now I only have a few Icons…

I like how Mac has that cool bar on the bottom with the Icons and such and I have seen this before, bu I was wondering where I can download that bar thing with the Icons that Mac has and Use on XP

is there an everything program to speed up your computer? Or anything like it?

I dont know much about computers but dont want to spend money on some wipe em clean program. Can I reconfigure or somthing ?
