HELP HELP HELP

I have taken some very bad advice.  I had hundreds of viruses and spy ware etc...  I tried to re install all of my software again but there is so much I dont know what I need and what I can forget.  Is there any way for me to go back to factory install (the way it was when I got it) from this point or am I at a point of no return ?

    If you purchased your system after July 15, 2004, you may have the PCRestore image on your system which you can use to return the system to exactly like it was when you recieved it (erasing any data files, pictures, music, videos, etc. that you have added since).  If you purchased before 7/15/04, you can reformat the drive and reinstall Windows.  If you tell us which version of Windows you are running and which model computer you have, we could point you to more detailed instructions.
