Windows XP System Restore Problem
I downloaded Pest Trap, a spyware program, that I thought was safe but found
out was a malicious syware program. I have removed the spyware program. I am not able to use the system restore function. Every time I try, the computer says "unable to restore" I checked to make sure system restore is on but I think I may have lost some windows files. Any suggestions or ideas? Thank you Jeff |

Any suggestions or ideas? Thank you Pest Trap is *not* spyware. It's not a program you should use (because false positives work as goad to purchase, and because it has inadequate scan reporting), but it doesn't account for your System Restore problem. Read about Pest Trap he http://spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti...e.htm#xos_note As far as your System Restore problem, you probably have corruption in your restore points. Try turning System Restore off, then back on. That will cause the loss of your existing restore points, but they are no good anyway.
