Firon Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 It probably trashed your system. You should reinstall Windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Have you tried a system restore point BEFORE your computer got infected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 System Restore has never worked for me, and I wouldn't trust that the restore points haven't been tampered with either (or that they'd be able to actually get rid of the infection). In all honesty, once a computer gets infected, I have little faith in any method to clean it other than to reinstall Windows entirely. That a software might say "yes, I've cleaned the infection" doesn't necessarily mean it actually did. If something could detect infections so perfectly, there wouldn't be any competition out there for security softwares.This is why it's also a good idea to backup early, and backup often Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Something also to add...if you don't know how it got infected before, you can presume it will get infected again SOON! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
