Of course, reinstalling the OS doesn't take into account any data files that
may be brought forward from the previous installation.
Mary, did you initiate the conversation concerning your computer and
viruses, or did "apple" initiate the conversation?

Mary,
There is no need to pay Apple $200 to do something that you can do yourself
at home. Remember that unlike on Windows we can reinstall the operating
system ourselves without any sighted assistance what so ever.
What makes you think that your Mac has an infection? I believe that it is
highly unlikely that your Mac has a virus but as we all know just because we
are using a Mac does not mean that we are immune.

Hi all, If the Apple store people say you need to pay $200 to wipe your
computer clean of viruses that have invaded everything, does that make
sense? Is there another way?
