weird problem...
« on: January 07, 2007, 01:02:49 PM »
not really crippling (anymore), but I have this weird virus that permanently disabled my System Restore and doesn't let me right-click in Windows Exporer or on the desktop...also killed my Search function after a while...there were other problems at first, but they disappeared after about a day...

and whatever it is, PC-cillin can't find it. :-/ Neither can Ad-Aware.

DLoad and update and run AVG Anti-Spyware (formerly Ewido ) in safemode with system restore turned off...

Note you will lose all your restore points but chances are they are infected and you wouldn't want them anyway.
