125288 2003-03-04 00:01:00 I never use system restore. It is so worthless. Everytime I went to do a restore it would always fail so I gave up on it. GoBack from Roxio works really really well.

I believe they have a trial version available and if you really like it you can buy it, or use kazaa.

125289 2003-03-04 00:42:00 timmora, did you enable system restore and expect it to restore your computer to a time before you caught that virus? Cos it won't work like that because it was disabled. You will need to leave it running for about 12 hours before it will reset any restore points, so trying to take your computer back to a time before the virus came along is a waste of time. I suggest you leave it enabled, as it has saved my computer many times. Danger (287)
125290 2003-03-04 04:26:00 Just to expand on what Danger said - by disabling your System Restore, you permanently delete all previous restore points, there is no going back.

When you re-enable System Restore, you can manually create a fresh new restore point, and then let the program automatically create further restore points as required.

Running an Antiviral program, which is regularly updated, is the best way to avoid future viral infections.

System Restore works faultlessly on my PC. The last thing I would say about it is "worthless" Why buy GoBack when SR (which does the same thing) comes freee with ME

How do you mean "use Kazaa"

Baldy - I think he's suggesting he downloads an illegal copy... we seem to be getting a lot of advocates of software piracy here.

PoWa - Wrong forum to be suggesting downloading anything illegal from Kazaa.

Lo.

125294 2003-03-04 07:16:00 Well i'm not gonna try solve your problem, cause i believe others already have.
However i will bring it to your attention that when you have a virus in your system restore folder (that is files with a .cpy extension) they can not get out, they are locked in and can't do anything,
GIven that your virus prog picked up that you had the virus in your system restore folder, you would now know to leave the system restore to purge itself, which it would do in a day or two.
