Answer 1

no idea, if u had a backup it was good.

comps r sensitive. good luck

Answer 2

Yes it looks like you are infected. Thisi will take about an hour to fix.

Switch off system restore until your computer is clean, this will prevent the infection from reappearing from there. You can restart this later if you choose to.

Reboot when asked and then do:-

Install, update and do a full scan with SUPERantispyware http://superantispyware.com

Install ccleaner http://ccleaner.com and run the ccleaner and registry scans. Remove or repair when asked but repeat the registry scan until nothing is detected.

Reboot and you'll be free of it.

You can now restart system restore if you like.

Answer 12

that is antivirus 2008 or 2009 here is how to get rid of it...

doing a scan alone will not get rid of it as scans will not remove infected restore files..

it will hide in the system restore as well as other places.

this method is good for other viruses too...

click on tools > delete browsing history > delete all

> check the box, also delete files and settings stored by

add-on's >yes.

......................................... next" ,..........................................

start > all programs > pc help and tools > system restore

> system restore settings > select system restore tab > check the box turn off system restore on all drives > ok

then go here and do online scan.this scanner will try to disinfect any offending files if it can't it will remove the file.but not your restore back up files no scanner in the world will remove them, they are protected files...

then go here and do Clean up Scan

http://onecare.live.com/site/en-au/cente...

then turn the system restore back to on...

then create a new restore point as your pc will now be clean apart from the last remaining restore point.

then turn off system restore again as it will erase the last infected restore file..

reboot and then turn the system restore back to on...

and hey presto a clean machine...

PS:

turn of your own anti virus when doing the online scan as it may prevent the scanner from removing any infection it finds...

not only that but your own AV system could be infected...
