I can't wipe all of my hard drives because they are full of data, all of my computer files from over the years. Even if I were to backup that data somewhere else and wipe the drives, it could still reinfect me (if it's indeed infected).

I want to do a clean install because
a)this one is already a fresh install (from a few days before I came here seeking help)
b)this install is funky from all the poking around I've done (mostly before I came here seeking help)
c)creating a new nlite install is very easy

Whether i keep this installation or reinstall windows, I still need to make sure all of my data is clean.
