First thing I do is get the internet up and running. Is that the norm?

Whats the best way to go about updating drivers? I've updated the important ones but I'm sure theres some I'm missing.

It's been a long while since I've done this

reformatting is for people who don't know their shit well enough to clean up their infections, and also for people installing whole new OSes

I have *nevar* reformatted except to upgrade a couple computers from XP to 7 before giving them away

nah, i just reformat because it's easier and takes less time than going through and cleaning shit up.

i've never had an infection, i just do it when shit starts running slowly.
