Hi,
Can Anyone help.
I downloaded a program a few weeks ago and ended up with about 14 viruses. It took me 48 hours to think I had finally got rid of them all. However they seem to reappear after 72 hours.
I protected my machine with Norton 2006, Adware and Microsoft Antivirus.
Today I have found

They're hiding in your system restore, yoiu'll need to turn off teh system restore and tehn reboot , once you've rebooted you can run your antivirus program.
This should clear them out completley allowing you to re-enable your system restore.
One problem is though that you will loose the ability to system restore back to a date prior to when you re-enable system restore, but its the only way to really clear out the virii.
Turn off system restore by CONTROL PANEL > SYSTEM > SYSTEM RESTOREI no longer work in Council Tax Recovery but instead work as a specialist Council Tax paralegal assisting landlords and Council Tax payers with council tax disputes and valuation tribunals. My views are my own reading of the law and you should always check with the local authority in question.0 -
while you are at it download Ewido fro www.ewido.net and run that with your anti virus while in safe mode
there is a full guide to removal here
