It removes registry entries, but the files remain on the computer. -- Posted by ZOMGimrae at 6:17 pm on June 4, 2008 well im kind of running out of options. -- Posted by Another Chance at 6:20 pm on June 4, 2008 Quote: from Meep123 at 6:15 pm on June 4, 2008 Quote: from NameInUse at 9:12 pm on June 4, 2008 Quote: from Meep123 at 8:09 pm on June 4, 2008 System restoring does not remove files from your computer.

IF it'd let me do a checkpoint that wasnt from today. -- Posted by m4573rm3ch4n1c 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.

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)!! -- Posted by obvious child 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. -- Posted by nikki 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.
