Replies nikki Posted at 2:07 am on June 5, 2008 If you've just got a virus, just use some kind of anti-virus software to get detect it and get rid of it. System Restore will get rid of everything on your computer. obvious child Posted at 11:12 pm on June 4, 2008 Quote: from Meep123 at 3:24 pm on June 4, 2008 This puzzles me, my system restore never removes any exe files. if system restore didn't remove files it wouldn't fix problems. For instance, say you have a trojan or some virus. If system restore didn't wipe it from your computer, then what use would system restore have? Occasionally I have used it to save my computer due to the failings of Norton. m4573rm3ch4n1c Posted at 6:44 pm on June 4, 2008 Quote: from ZOMGimrae at 6:27 pm on June 4, 2008 Yeah i'd do a restore. IF it'd let me do a checkpoint that wasnt from today. Yea, you can usually do it from any point of time. But, what I'd is restore it back to when it was fine and get anti-virus, anti-spyware, and anti-adware programs on the comp. to protect it from another virus plus it protects from Trojan Horses (which are a major pain)!!
