How to reboot my HP Pavilion dv6000 laptop?

Hi, I have a really nice laptop an HP Pavilion dv6000, which rarely gave me any trouble. However recently I am noticing that my laptop has been acting a little slow on me, which I quickly noticed. I have a vista home premieum os, and I know a virus has somehow gotten passed my McAfee security. The only thing I can do now, is reboot make new from start. If anyone knows the steps for rebooting this specific type of HP, please tell how. Thank you.

1. What are you talking about ? Just press reboot ?
2. mate theres something wrong with your technical terms,reboot = restart. but i guess in this case you are asking for a reformat,or system recovery,if im not wrong every HP laptop/desktop comes with a system recovery option,and u can do that by holding F10 while u are starting you laptop. but take note that it will restore to the very original settings(which means before anything is installed). so i would suggest you to get a external hard drive and save all those files inside it and do a virus scan to it.so after you do a system recovery you can back them up. hope it helps u
