Does a Vista System Recovery also remove installed spyware (such as eBlaster) when the spyware was installed after the laptop was bought?

  1. The system restore disks that come with your computer will re-format the hard disk which will restore your computer to its original state when you purchased it. There have been viruses that have lived beyond a re-format however (called boot-sector viruses) and you need to have that removed by good anti-virus software before you are "clean".


  2. You are infected with spyware if:

    * You see too much pop-up advertisements.

    * Your browser has toolbars that you haven't installed.

    * Your homepage has changed (and you can't change it back).

    * Other settings have changed without your permission.

    * Your computer is slow.

    To get rid of spyware and keep your computer clean you can use an antispyware or even more.

    You can download a antispyware software. There are 10 good anti-spywares.

    here is the reviews:http://toptenantispyware.com/

    You can download one and scan your system.

    All are safe and can be trusted.


  3. If you opt to format the drive during the recovery process, yes... it also removes all your data files that you don't backup to CD/DVD/Flash drive... songs, email, pictures etc.

  4. You should receive Malware removal support from a site like http://geekpolice.net/ if you have a virus or spyware.

    I recommended it because they provide real fast support and a cure is guaranteed.
