Stinger has found 13 files infected with the klez virus in the restore
folder. I cannot open the system properties to turn off system restore, and then run the removal tool. I am caught in a catch 22. I still cannot open some programs from the control panel or launch some from explorer. Thanks for your patience with this. It is driving me crazy. "Noel Paton" wrote in message ...
