turning on system restore
I was trying to run system restore and the computer said it was turned off.
I checked the help section and it said to uncheck the box within the system restore tab in the system restore properties...I don't have a system restore tab there. I have 6 tabs there, general, computer name, hardware, advanced, automatic updates and remote. Is the tab within one of these or do I have something wrong? Any help would be appreciated Thanks |

Any help would be appreciated Thanks It sounds like you now have or have had some malicious software. It may have been removed and you are seeing some leftovers. SR is a popular target for malicious software. Start here and there will be fewer questions and then a solution that works. Click Start, Run and in the box enter: msinfo32 Click OK, and when the System Summary info appears, click Edit, Select All, Copy and then paste back here. There would be some personal information (like System Name and User Name) or whatever appears to be only your business that you can delete from the paste. Reduce the chances of malicious software by running some scans. Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs: Malwarebytes (MBAM): http://malwarebytes.org/ SUPERAntiSpywa (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/ These can be uninstalled later if desired. |
