Should I be worried that...

my system restore doesn't work? Haha @_@ My MSWord is not working (is fine for a few minutes, then has to close) so I tried restoring to when it was was, and well, yeah... I haven't tried reinstalling it yet, I will try that next but still.. Worried. Already backed up all my files just in case. @_@

Did you try and restart your computer?

Esen	05-07-2008 12:51 AM

Yes. First thing I normally do, but that really isn't the answer I'm looking for.

worst possible scenario:-

a malicious root-kit has disabled system-restore to circumvent removal of the virus. Is that what you were looking for?

Esen	05-07-2008 12:58 AM

Haha, yeah. @_@ Can it be anything else? Or should I just go ahead an reformat? o_o

dun reformat just yet. I'm not exactly tech-savvy so it could be a number of things. Maybe somethings wrong with the shadow copys or the placement/timing of the save-points?

Try re-booting in safe mode and run anti-virus,anti-spyware and anti-rootkit programs.

dur.

I had a root-kit problem. D:

I kept system restoring and it wouldn't do anything. And I didn't know what was going on anyway.

*reformatted*

Ghost backups FTW?

Hmm... My Anti-virus software didn't pick up anything during it's run. o-o And apparently my dad thinks it would be good for my computer if I reformat anyway. xD I don't really mind, just all that installing agian. @_@ and transferring my files back, should really organize them better.

Ghost backup?
