Can't restore computer?

[Irock]

I can't restore my computer. I even tried it in safe node. Does anyone have a solution.

[Lackluster]

Unplug cables
Throw computer out window
Smash remaining parts with hammer
Buy new computer


...Or...choose a different restore date...

[Irock]

I've chosen allot of different restore dates. And this computer's only a few months old. It works great, but I can't get rid of these damn trojans.

[Dwarra?]

HEY I HAVE A VIRUS AND IT WONT LET ME RESTORE

yeah, most viruses do that

[Star_wolf]

hoho well if a restore point hasn't been made on that day then its not possible......I think havent done it in a while.....well if that doesn't work get AVG free edition or Norton and kill the trojans

Lol, yet you still use / like Internet explorer, run random .exes that are so obviously peices of shit like that "search all torrent websites.exe" nouman touts, use norton / McAfee, and use shit like ChaosSpartan's spyware toolbar?

[ahref]

on the free alternatives to comercial software theres a list of free virus scanners. I also recomend spybot search and destroy and ad-aware(the free edition) as well as ccleaner which should speed up your browser after running it yeasterday on my computer it deleted 4GB! of junk that was making my pc rather slow.

There's a checkpoint every day, including that one.

I don't use internet explorer, and I hate it. If you're talking about right now, I'm on another computer. I've never used "search all torrent websites.exe" And I don't use his toolbar. And I don't run random .exe files.

My computer runs fine, but I don't like viruses tearing up my computer. And spybot isn't helping.

My question; Is there a way to restore your computer to a previous time, without completely resotring the entire computer to the time you bought it?

[Roph]

I beleive it's called, backup your files and then format

Sling your McAfee and norton discs into your microwave and start it up. The show you'll get is the most use they'll ever be.

Of course, having common sense is the best antivirus ~

[Irock]

I plan on doing that when I get home. 

I don't have Norton. And I downloaded McAfee, so I can't put it in the microwave.

I blame my friend downloading a 'Wii Points Gen' without my permission.

EDIT: But I don't have a Windows XP installation disk, so I can't reformat.

[ahref]

do you still have your windows xp serial number im sure you can install using someone elses disk.

[Irock]

It was pre-installed on my computer.

also irock what type of computer? some computers (like dell) have a system restore option to make the computer as it was when you first started it up.

[Irock]

I have an HP. I can't get much information on it now, since I'm not on it. But I'll check as soon as I can.

try f10 on system startup

[Irock]

I have no idea what that'll do, but it sounds good.
