System Restore
 

Arrrg.... I have a pc here that I am sorting out that is riddled with virus's and trojans.

The system restore folder is infected so the antivirus software is having problems cleaning or removing the files.


Anyone here know how to switch of system restore on me ??? I cant find the options...

Please :)

Should be in Control Panel, System, then System restore tab.

Hopefully that helped :)

Nope - First place I checked... I know its there on windows xp but there is no trace of it on this windows ME system...

Thanks for the sugestion though :)

Edit - the antivirus software cant clean the files as ME as marked them as " in use " even in safe mode. Perhaps deleting them in dos would be the way to go ?

I've come into this thread a bit late, seeing as the issue is now sorted.
