John does have a valid point here..
However, if you run a powerful Anti Virus and malware combination like eset
Smart Security Suite and Malware Bites on that machine as well as look at
your running processes you can be 99% sure the machine is safe. At least
long enough o boot, and more comfortable move your personal data off as a
backup then wipe and restore your OS and data back if you so wish.

Barry

Hi Dave, were it me I'd do a format and a clean install. Besides anything
else, given it was bought from a market a dodgey operating system's only one
of the things you've got to worry about. What else may be on there you don't
know about? If you take my tip you'll do a format and a clean install of
your new ligit copy.
John.
