Default Repair Install Vista over Vista question

Hi,

Doing a repair install (or in-place upgrade) will not remove a virus or
trojan. You need to either concentrate on actually removing the malware or
backup data and start with a clean install.

Start with cleanup tools from malwarebytes.org and superantispyware.

Hi
I must have downloaded a virus/trogan/malware because system restore
and my Microsoft office suite won't work and I've been googling
looking for a fix, but with no success so far

Is it possibe to run a repair of Vista rather than a full re-install?
