If I only installed antivirus and anti spyware late in the game should I first reinstall my computer

What I mean is, if a lot of junk already found its way into my system, should I reinstall windows and the rest of my hard disk first, or does it suffice to just install the latest security software and rely on that to get rid of all the aforementioned junk?

Thanks!

Not unless you are really having problems. If your computer works fine, just use the software from now on.

no need to reinstall your computer software..unless you have a problem with your computer software..
If there's a lot of junks, it will be wise to make a backup of your important work/study file %26 even personal files like pics, musics %26 etc.

Then I will reformat the PC. So Windows OS 1st. %26 etc. Windows files. That way your PC will perform more smoothly afterward %26 you can file manage oth. stuffs from the scratch.

2nd anti virus %26 adware programs thn follow by others.

I usually format my PC every year or 1/2 year for better performance. Many ppl. I know do that too.
