View Full Version : Windows XP Restore Doesn't Work

I think I've gotten hold of a virus because I've noticed
some strange things on my computer. First, system restore
is gone. I can get the window to open, but it is
blank...don't even get the calendar. Second thing I've
noticed is some buttons and drop down boxes on websites do
not work anymore. I've accessed these same webpages from
another computer and it's definately my computer, not the
website. Third thing I've noticed is pop-up windows only
come up minimized in the task bar, but cannot be opened or
maximized. Also, they say "Micorsoft" instead
of "Microsoft". Fourth thing is I cannot print any
webpages. I'm sure there's other problems that I just
haven't noticed yet.
I'm going to try a restore while booting, but if that
doesn't work, does anyone know if this is a virus and if
so, which one, or any suggestions on anything else to try?
Thanks!

If you think you've got a virus, go here and d/l the trial version and
see what turns up.
