Cannot restore system to a previous date
I changed 3 systems during last 11 years due to strong trojan and invasion
problems in the past and recently I switched to broadband, hoping for some better results due to the hardware firewall of the router. I do not think I'm malware free though. I have Windows XP, Norton Antivirus and Zone Alarm standalone firewall, also some non-signature antispyware. Recently, I had 3 incidents I believe show I have some problem. At first my ZA suddenly started to ask if I want to grand access to the net to the Symantec's ccSvcHst.exe, which I ignored. Initially I thought it might be some malware and asked Symantec who replied to uninstall and re-install antivirus, when I insisted if this might also be some legal program, thay said it is the virus definitions update program. I checked in the ZA program list and saw it is legal, so I simply ordered ZA to remember allowing it always access to the net. I believe someone changed the ZA settings hoping that I undertake the uninstall reinstall process of NAV which is a big problem, if I recall well from the past. Then today my screen's settings changed strangely from 1024x768 to 640x480. My admin account asked if I want Windows to fix that automatically but my limited account I had to fix it through my screen's settings icon in the taskbar. Then I thought to restore system to a previous date to avoid eventual malware but it had been imnpossible. I tried several previous dates starting from the closest and proceeding to the past, many times, through normal and safe mode, after seeing the restoring procedure on the screen and entering again Windows I have an alert saying "nothing changed in yr system, system restore could not be realized" (I translate from local language as good as I can), "you may try another date" and so on. Additionnally I can think only of one thing relevant, I upgraded from NAV 2009 to NAV 2010 online, don't know if this has anything to do with all that. Maybe if I restore system to a date before upgrading NAV, this could provoke probems to the antivirus and thus it stops me from doing so? Thanks for any help. |

Cannot restore system to a previous date
Try rt clicking MyComputerselect PropertiesSystem Restore. Check the
box Turn off SR on all Drives. Click Apply, Ok. Restart and reverse the procedure turning SR back on. You can then go to System Restore and create one manually.

Disconnect your PC from the net by pulling the cable. Turn NAV and ZoneAlarm off, then try a System Restore. Here's step-by-step for NAV if you're not su http://bertk.mvps.org/html/symantecdoc1.html For Zone Alarm, right-click on the icon and pick Shutdown ZoneAlarm. . . SC Tom |

Cannot restore system to a previous date
I followed the below paper's instructions
(http://bertk.mvps.org/html/symantecdoc1.html) but initially (in normal mode) I could not restore system as before. Then in safe mode (where Resource Protection is supposed to be disabled by default) again could not restore system. Did not deal with ZA at all as this did not prevent me in the past from restoring system, this problem started as soon as I installed NAV. Is there any possibility to use system restore without uninstalling NAV? System restore is crucial for fighting viruses, invasions and other malware and I'm curious why symantec did not see that this would not happen to its customers. But I should have known better than listening to people saying the new Norton is safer, smoother and totally different than the older products, while in the past I switched to other security software after a black out due to Norton antivirus alarms.
