Got virus need to fromat what OS.

After trying everything under the sun I think it's time to back up and format. But I'm not sure what OS to install. It came with Vista but now I'm thinking windows 7 but I'm dot sure if my computer will handle it.

Specs
AMD 2650E 1.6 ghz
3 gis of ram
ATI Radeon x1250

What do yo think? Will Windows 7 run slower than Vista?

Windows 7 takes less to run than Windows Vista. It's also a much better OS. go 7.

If you want to run Windows 7 on your PC, here's what it takes:

*1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor
*1 gigabyte (GB) RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)
*16 GB available hard disk space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)
*DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver

Windows 7 requires less resources than Vista, so if anything, go with XP or 7.
