JAD.......

You are not understanding what Mike is saying to you......and any others
that follow your line of thinking. I will admit it took me a while to *get
it*, but perhaps I can put it in simpler English for you. Make that
*Canadian English* (G).

If you disable and clear out the System Restore BEFORE getting rid of the
offending object, you have also thrown away any chance of restoring your
computer, should you happen to screw something up!!! You will have NO
restore points to go back to.

In other words, you CAN restore to a point BEFORE you got infected and you
will NOT be restoring the virus/trojan/whatever to your computer.

Is this any clearer??

And Mike......I hope I got that across right.....or for that matter, I hope
I got it right, grin!!

It is a hard concept for people to get their minds around.......all they are
thinking is *get rid of this blasted malware*!!

Cheers and off for supper......Heather

But if not yourself a user may well want to restore to an uninfected
checkpoint created prior to any infection. By flushing the restore
archive as a first action one removes such action from ones armoury
of
tools.
