How do I get my computer back to factory status?

Q: I have an HP Vista AMD Athlon. I don't have the discs or anything, and I recently messed up my computer by installing too many antivirus and spyware programs.

A: Restart your computer and before the loading screen comes on, press F8 continuously until another screen comes on. Click on a one that says repair computer > reinstall vista > destruction, and a screen will come on telling you it will take 20 - 40 minutes. This will restore your computer to its factory settings.
