Install the Restoration Disk into the optical drive, (DVD drive), and when asked perform a Full Installation. (Destructive Installation)

Or install a fresh new genuine copy of Windows, and perform a Full Installation.

(You may need to go into BIOS Setup, and in Boot Options, set the first boot device to CDROM)

Don't have the Restoration Disk? (Or if you are the first owner did you make one?)
Try contacting Acer Support.

(From reading experiences with others, it would seem you would be better off just buying a new-genuine copy of Windows. Easier to obtain )

Remember, formatting in this mode will remove ALL personal data from the netbook.
No personal documents you have created, or downloaded, no programs you have installed or downloaded, no photos, music, videos, nada, will be saved.
The netbook will go back to the way it was Day 1 from the factory.

Regards,

I want to format my netbook because it has many viruses that make it work slowly

Right click on the partitions you want to format ( except the one you have installed the OS on) and click format. After that you should reinstall your OS, this will also format the partition where you have your OS installed.
