| 45410 | 2002-04-24 08:58:00 | Hi...my computer was recently affect by a computer virus. Some of the virus affected the files in _RESTORE folder. In order to delete these affected files, i must disable System Restore. Now i'm wondering after i deleted the files and UNDISABLE system restore, what effects will it have on my computer?? Thanks Tony |

At some point System Restore will create a new restore point anyway or you can do it yourself after you have cleaned out the remains of the virus. | Guest (0) | ||

| 45413 | 2002-04-26 02:03:00 | Hi tony, personally I don't use system restore....specially after using roxio's GoBack. did a far superior job and actually reverted my hard drive to exactly how it was not like the hit and miss affair that restore seems to do. Another alternative I now use also is the backup tool that is on your ME cd. browse the cd and you'll find it tucked away in a folder. I found restore interferred with defrag etc too much for my liking. | Guest (0) | ||
