Dowloaded the insidious Antivirus 2008 virus Saturday Nov. 8th 2008. If I use
the system restore and choose an earlier date, will I loose this bug?
Should I scan and remove with a virus detecton program while in the safe
mode?
Please help...........Peter in SLC.

Run malwarebytes from Safe Mode.

www.malwarebytes.org
 
PETERFST,
Download and run malwarebytes best piece of software for your problem,
oh and run it in safe mode.

Regards
 
Interesting............Thanx for the suggestion, however, I cannot (or "it"
won't let me) connect with www.malwarebytes.org either in I.E. or Firefox.
Is that web site still viable or is this bug that good? Have had to copy and
paste web addresses in order to get around the web as I'm redirected
sometimes . I think IT's afraid of malwarebytes.

No, not completely. A system restore may refresh the registry, but it won't
do anything to installed program files.

Sure, that's the best way.
 
Now guess what? I cannot boot up in the safe mode. Just keeps going around in
a circle. Should I restore, then try booting up in safe mode?
