Hello. I know there are a lot of topics about that on the net, but i have read them all and none of the answers solves my problem. I spent 10 hours today trying to fix it any way possible.
Despite always having Avast antivirus, I got the virus "Windows XP restore", which blocked all my files. I was able to download SpyBot, scanned my computer, removed viruses (turned out i had many). Was able to open my files again, but still system tools were missing. I removed spybot, installed malwarebytes which found many more junk and removed it. However still no system tools. I started system restore through cmd, but after i pick restore point and click next - nothing happens. I was able to restore my system tools in start menu. BUT STILL windows restore doesn't work. I read online that a lot of people have this problem. But solutions offered to them did not help me. I tried to restore in safe mode, turning off antivirus. I also reinstalled system restore tool (backing up few of my restore points and putting them back into system restore folder). But still I can not get past this NEXt button. it just doen't work. i do not get any error notifications. I am very frustrated with that and would love any advice. i feel liek some other things are missing from my start menu, that is why i want to go a week back. I really do not want to reinstall windows.
