Two new problems
Hi
Using WinXP home sp3. My home page has been hijacked by www.safesearch.byethost4.com and I can not change it back to my usual web page. Also my system restore has stopped working. Thought I had nothing else to do but revert to an earlier time but none of the restore points work. Have Kaspersky 2009 installed. Any help would be appreciated. Regards Bill

Back again
Ran Malwarebytes and it found a Homepage Hijacker, so that problem is fixed. Still have the System Restore not working problem. Could it be some sort of conflict with Kaspersky?

The solution most likely lies in disabling Kaspersky before attempting to restore. What you suggest would, however, make testing system restore painless. -- Gerry ~~~~ FCA Stourport, England Enquire, plan and execute ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mike Hall - MVP wrote: "Bill P" wrote in message ...

Hi Mike/Gerry/Daave
I deleted all restore points, disabled System Restore and rebooted. Enabled System Restore and created a new restore point.I then created a test folder on the desktop. I did this with Kaspersky enabled. Carried out the restore to the new point and the folder had gone and the restore was completed successfully. I did the same test with Kaspersky disabled and again the restore was completed successfully. It would seem that the problem has gone but I will test again in a couple of days to make sure.
