deleting virus files from System Restore - admin authority needed
I have some virus files in the Restore folder. I have
instructions on how to delete the files but I first need to "turn off system restore". Problem is my computer won't let me turn off system restore. Apparently I need some type of system administrator authority. I don;t know how to override this. Is there anyway to override or give myself the proper authority level? |
