How do I boot up the computer on how it was a day ago?

Question

I need help, I got a virus and I want to boot it up on how it was a day ago.

Answer 1

With XP or Vista you need to go to system restore via the Start - Control Panel route. It may not clear your virus tho.

Would suggest you run your anti virus first to get rid of it. If you dont have any antivirus software try AVG or SPYBOT - both free and work well.  Just type either into google and youll find the free download site.

Good luck

Answer 5

The virus still has a chance of being there. The best thing you can do is scan with some anti-virus software. A good list of software for all around protection is below:

-McAfee 12 in 1 Security Center (anti-virus)

or AVG if you want a free program

-Spyware Doctor with AV (anti-spyware)

or Spybot S&D if you want a free program

-PC Tools Firewall Plus(free) (firewall)

-ThreatFire(free) (added virus protection)

-CCleaner(keep computer running pretty good, cleans up history and whatnot)

-Firefox(safe browser)

*If you still want to reset the computer back a day or two then you are going to need to use System Restore but keep in mind that you will loose anything you added to your computer since that time. If you want to do that follow these instructions:

1.Click Start.

2.Point to All Programs.

3.Point to Accessories.

4.Point to System Tools.

5. Click System Restore.
