ive downloaded some nasty malware and cant do anything in normal windows mode without crashing in 3 minutes. so i cant download hijack this or anything for that matter. the only solution ive found to be promising is to just pop in the recovery cd and start from scratch ( sense i can do this in safe mode and avoid crashing ). i spent 700$ on this laptop and it never came with a recovery cd. i called vaio support and its going to be 20$ for the cd... Bah... here is the model number for my laptop N325E (vista). Anyone got one i can borrow or know where i can get one? the computer im using right now does have a cd / dvd burner!
