Than k s for read this i'm haing probles and glithes in y PC, I think it's for a virus beause I enter in an attack-reported p a g e, I kn ow i t wa s s t u p id b u t n ow the only thing I care is format the computer and give an end to all this. How ca I d o i t ? s o r r y f o r the writing, I an't avoid it, it's the virus. Help please !
It's very unlikely that you actually have a virus under Linux, as they are quite rare in the wild. However, to do a reinstall, go to http://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora, download the image, burn to a DVD, and reboot. Then, do a "Clean install" rather than an upgrade -- in F18 terminology, I think that means "reclaim all of your disks".
(For safety, best to do that from a different computer, just in case your system really is compromised.)
If you don't have a DVD handy, you can also use USB; there are easy instructions here.
If you're familiar with bittorrent, you may find that the easiest way to get a quick download. (From the official torrent list.)

Thanks,Iwilldoit . But, how do I do a "Clean install"?
it´s better to write such questions as a comment, not as answer ;-) And to do a clean install, follow the instructions in the answer above answer to get an install medium and format your HDD during the install or just follow this Install-Guide http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/18/html/Installation_Guide/
