I'm attempting to restore my computer to a previous restore point, but I am
not having much success at doing so. I've tried reverting back using the
System Restore program in normal mode and in safe mode, and every time I have
tried it - in either mode - after the restart process has completed, I get a
message from System Restore telling me that it was not able to complete the
restore I have chosen.
As far as I know, there is no reason to believe that the System Restore
files are corrupt or that they would not be there, considering I have not
turned System Restore off at any point.
If it means anything or helps anyone, the reason I am attempting to restore
my computer to a previous point is due to the fact that, somehow (and I don't
know how this happened), my computer was infected with malware on Sunday
afternoon/evening, and I am attempting to revert back to a previous time to
see if this may alleviate the problem and rid whatever program it was that
originally created the problem, being that whatever this program is (and
again, I don't know what program it is) is now creating corrupt dll's, exe's,
and registry entries that I can't get rid of completely. Therefore, I'm
attempting to go back to a point from early Sunday morning to see if this
might do the trick (yes, I know, I probably should have done a full backup of
my system, shouldn't I have?)
Any philosophies from anyone about what may be happening here and whether or
not there is a possible solution to this problem?
Any help will do. Thanks!
