I can help you. Infections such as Trojans can change the permissions which will not allow them to be deleted.  This typically is an indication you have a very bad infection.  Check out my website for more details on how I can help.  http://www.nicklockard.com   My fee is 40 bucks to completely remove it and its a no fix no fee.  This same service would cost you 100 bucks at PlumChoice.com or Firedog/geek squad.  I offer other services as well that will not only clean up your infections but it will also speed up & make your computer even more secure.  I offer a FREE 15min diagnostic & Advice.  Please email me at either [e-mail] or [e-mail] you can find me on www.crossloop.com/nicklockard too.

Answer 2

possibly .

Can't guarantee it though.

Try it?

Answer 3

I believe by using System Recovery, you will delete the remaining OS and start over with a 'fresh' install of Vista...

So yes, that would take care of any virus or spyware...

However, you could just use a top-notch anti-virus/spyware program.

Answer 4

since it formats ur harddrive and reinstall all the programs..so yes it will go away....

Answer 5

You should do a scan with your Anti Virus program before you try system restore. System restore brings your computer back to an early date before you got the Virus, but sometimes the Virus can cross right over to that date when you do system restore.

Answer 6

Give this a try first if you have data that you want to keep.

Update your anti-virus, remember to only have one anti-virus installed on your PC

Download SuperAntiSpyware

Restart your PC in safe mode, and run a full scan with both.

While in safe mode, you may also want to have a look at your start up items by using msconfig.

Be careful with the items you uncheck, you can have a look here to see if they are necessary

You should also have a look at your IE Add-ons while in safe mode.

Disable any you do not use.

After you reboot back to normal mode, download and install ccleaner to fix any registry problems and clean up old temp files.
