Compromised by viruses, how to go about reinstalling windows?
I downloaded a shady torrent out of desperation. I know big mistake. A few days later even after scanning with malwarebytes and hitmanpro (which removed a lot of stuff), I got my gmail and paypal hacked. Even after changing my gmail password it got hacked again. I suspect I have a keylogger or something so I'm just gonna reinstall windows to clean everything. I just have a single hard drive.
Will reinstalling windows on my hard drive get rid of any viruses left? I also have some documents to back up onto a USB (mostly office documents and pictures), if I copy them back onto the new install will it bring back the virus? Thanks.
