My comp broke down by a virus. i am lookign for a way to restore to the previous point, but the system restore

Question

the system restore option in system tools doesnt work becuz of the virus.. is there anyway to proceed the restore tool alternatively?

Answer 1

if the computer is new you can get it fixed for free if its a bit older then you can have a computer MOT in PC world for about 30 pounds the only down side is that it cost to get it repaired but that costs only like 10 pounds more.

there isnt really a way to do system restore altenativly so i would say if you dont like the options above then contact windows if you have windows or apple if you have mac

Answer 2

back up all ur files/data, and reinstall ur OS will really get rid of the virus

Answer 3

i would suggest trying to remove the virus first. If you restore, you can still have the virus.

Answer 4

Agree with the suggestion to boot into safe mode but you need to press F8 on startup not F9.

Answer 5

ur going to have to back up ur guitar, it also depends on the computer, if u have an old computer then run it on defrag but if u have an new computer then use norton 360, it works great

Answer 6

Hi,

sorry to tell you but using your restore points will not work, virus's infect these files first, this is what to do, reboot back into safe mode (press F9 as it boots up) then run your anti-virus software "AVG 8" is the best (i only hope you don't have Norton's it's rubbish) and see if it's clears the infection. hope this works.
