The other day a virus (named safesearch or searchsafer or something) made its way onto my computer. I went a couple days without removing it, I just kept saying no when it asked for permissions on boot. I was going to finally get rid of it, but my computer was acting funny and kind of slow so I restarted, turned it back on and it wouldn't let me get back into windows. It kept saying it was detecting problems or repairing or whatever so I tried to re-install win8 but it wouldn't let me restore or anything from the broken windows.
So I decided to make a windows 8 setup flash drive. It wouldn't let me choose the upgrade option because it would say "remove setup drive, restart and boot normally" and that wouldn't work so thankfully I found a spare partition with barely enough space to install windows.
So, is there any way that I can fix my original windows 8 or transfer all of my programs and settings to this one? I really do not want to lose anything and I don't want to reinstall each program manually because there's important things on some of them and I don't think I have the space for everything.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: yep I have like 5mb free on this install.
