[Inactive] Lost system restores

Broni,

You resolved the virus problems I was having with my wife's NancXP system:

My system, ChuckXP, showed signs of having a virus so I tried to repeat the detailed instructions you had provided then and have saved all the logs except GMER log which I could not get to run ... even in SAFE mode. None of the logs indicated any virus or malware except for the Kaspersky which I ran last. Your instructions said to run Kaspersky online ... but the online version would not run since I had it installed. Hence I did a complete scan with the installed version.

This time Kaspersky found a system restore infection and I let it be quarantined. Since this did not improve my system's performance, I decided to restore to some previous date. When I went to do a system restore, there were no system restores prior to that day.

When I went to restore from an Acronis backup, I found that it had stopped backing up the Boot Drive(C) in August and had not alerted me.

Looks like I'll have to re-install the OS ... if so, plan to simply install Win 2007.

Any comments?

 

Thanks, Broni, but I think I'll clean house and go with Win 7.

Chuck
