Answer 1

well the virus has already done damage to your computer you can't fix it without a clean install of windows xp. you should stop doing what ever you did to get the virus and get avast or avg and do daily scans

Answer 2

u cant create one in the past, u can create oone only on day ur trying too. u can only do a whole system restoration, using recovery discs, but u willlose everything unless u back up
