I caught a virus last night while umm, doing research. I clicked on a link and immediately a bunch of icons started loading on my desktop and the computer had a mind of it's own. I ran a deep scan virus program and it got rid of about six trojan virus but couldn't delete four more that seem to be messing up Windows Explorer. I'm using another computer to type this now.
My question, if I use windows restore feature to go back to an earlier point will this get rid of the virus? I'm figuring probably not, but it's worth asking the question. Thanks. |

Bring the computer up into safe mode, open regedit and .........nevermind, this could take up a whole page. Go to www.antivirus.com and use the free housecall to scan the computer. If that doesnt work, try using your Windows restore and go back about a week if you can. If you were closer, I would get it off for you. Its what I do. Worse case, you format and reload the computer.
