    Hey guys,
    I have an AOA150 160GB and its infected with viruses.
    By pressing ALT+10, will this restore everything back to factory mode?
    I want to clean my computer totally like the first day I turned in on.
    Is this method just a "partial" system restpre or will it act the same way
    as having WIN XP installation cd's ??

    Thanks

    Pressing Alt+F10 at startup will indeed do a complete factory restore which wipes everything off the hard drive and installs the factory image from the hard drive just the way it was when new, getting rid of viruses or any other malicious software problems.
