| 857705 | 2010-02-20 20:54:00 | Can you do a system restore on a dual boot system? Yep you sure can, it will only restore the OS you select. BUT if you have rootkits on a PC, doing a restore will be a complete waste of time, as the infections will go back along with the restore. System restore wont remove them. You need to remove them with software. Run something like trojan Remover (www.simplysup.com) through the drives. |

| 857707 | 2010-02-21 02:12:00 | According to most opinions the BSOD and reload cycle is due to the application of KB977615 (recently released) on an already rootkit infected system so to get the system loading again I would go for the removal of KB977615 as described by Speedy in post 4 of this thread. Then I would read the article on the PC world home page "Microsoft says rootkit caused windows blue screens", Kaspersky has a fix tool for the rootkit which can be downloaded once you have a loadable system. If removing the kb977615 does not make windows loadable Symantec have a suggestion for that in the same article |
