I am wanting to reformat my computer, but i have a bunch of questions I wanna ask before I go and end up screwing my computer up, lol.

1) So when I reformat it, it deletes everything that I have installed on there, correct? It wont delete the pre-installed programs that came with my computer when i bought it about a year ago?

2) My computer should have came with a windows disk, right? I have a dell inspiron b130. I bought it in september of 2006.

3) Once i reformat it, it'll run just as fast as it used to when i bought it, right? I scan my computer on atleast a weekly basis for spyware and virus' as well as defragment it. So I dont think thats why its been a slower lately.
