I've lost some system volume folders...

[Mari]

My computer was struck with the big worm that was going
around, and now I've managed to isolate and delete it...
though it was 19 System Volume Information files that
were infected and deleted. Now, since I have done that
the sound on my computer is not working properly.
Can anyone help?

Have you re-installed the sound drivers?

 

[Mari]

ummm... no I have not... How would I go about doing so?

Look at the manufacturer website for the model of sound card that you have
and download the most current drivers and install (that is if you do not
have the original driver disk).

Make absolutely sure you get the model # correct, if you do download the
driver.

System Volume Information contains the restore points - the virus would
only have been able to activate itself if you had restored to one of
those points. If you have deleted some of he files but not all, it is
probably sensible to clear it out and let it start clean too. System
Restore. Check 'Disable System Restore, and OK, reboot. Now have
Folder Options - View set to show Hidden files, and *not* Hide Protected
mode ones and delete everything in the System Volume Information folder
on each drive

Start SR up again, and I suggest reviewing the settings for each drive.
There is not much point having it enabled on data drives, and on ones
with System or Programs I would reduce the space allotted if more than
say 1GB - I use 500MB, the minimum is 200 which will only handle maybe a
week of points. But the default of 12% of a drive seems too much for
its own good on modern large drives
