Restoed PC due to Virus and lost my upgrde info & Status

[spiderpig21372]

Hi all,

I have been using Utorrent for about 5 years now but my daughter destroyes my OS as she opened 2 attachments from 2 different emails that she has been TOLD many times not to, she was also faffing about with Facebook combinesd with both it sealed my fate,

As I was using System Restore and it clearly states "Do not turn of the system whilst system restore is running", so what does she do, turns it off therefore rendering my lappy dead, had no disks to restore and (like a doughnut I am) did not back the laptop up,

I upgraded my account to about about a week before and it does not recognize I have upgraded, can anyone help please (its done the same with spyware blaster so that thinjs im new,

Frustrated, yes, patient no, please could you do offer any advice at all,

Cheers

Jay/Rob (Brothers:P)

If i were you id just reinstall windows all together, or you could use a windows install disk to repair the copy already on the machine. Judging by what youv said its safe to say your computer will never work as it should again, and youll probably always have trouble with it. Personally i never found reinstalling windows to be all that painfull. In the sense that im loosing files that ill never ever get back. But thats because i never keep anything really important or irreplaceable on my computer. BUT, there is one thing you can do. Use a usb storage device or some blank cd/dvd's to store the stuff you want to keep, then reinstall windows, then copy all that data back over . Assuming your able to do this with your computer now. I do this alot, i actually like to reinstall windows for no reason once in a blue moon. A fresh start always makes things better. I probably shouldnt say this in public but, getting your hands on a (valid) windows copy doesnt require you pulling out your wallet :cool:.
