Get rid of SpywareStormer and SpyBlocs; they're bogus: [url="http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm"]http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm[/url].

| | Yes, the _restore folders under your C:\System Volume Information directory are indeed when the System Restore backups are stored, and they are protected systems folders which even anti-virus programs don't have permissions to modify. One of our members had a similar situation only two days ago; read through that thread … |
| | [QUOTE=romanflux]when you say reboot, is that the synonamous with restart?[/QUOTE] Yes, that exactly it. In terms of the advice given by deonnanicole and dlh6213, follow all of that advice.
