4) Viruses In C:\_restore On WinME PC
David G. asks - Apparently I have 7 Trojans in my system restore
folder. I have disabled system restore done a virus scan and it
picks them up but says that they cannot be got rid of. I have
tried to enable restore so it will purge the folder on start up
but it still remains disabled when restarted. Why will it not
start up with restore enabled? Any suggestion would be
appreciated. By the way I am running windows me.
*** Best bet when removing viruses from a Windows ME PCs is to
boot with a bootdisk and deltree the C:\_restore folder first.
Then run your anti-virus.
While XP will most often delete the restore points when you
disable system restore, Windows ME is a tad odd in that respect.
Keeps you up on old dos commands tho :)
