descriptionShould I system restore to retrieve the full virus for the OTL scan? EmptyShould I system restore to retrieve the full virus for the OTL scan?

more_horiz
I'm unsure on what to do, my issue is I received the virus then I system restored to a previous point and the virus pop ups stopped but my files and certain programs are blocked, so would it be better to system restore to the full virus point of time of virus affection and will the OTL help with my effected external hard drives too? Sorry if I posted this in the wrong place.

Hello there, today I tried ESET Online Scan and did everything per your and the sites instructions ,two essential actions I could not do was save to a certain location and copy or find the log report. When I try to find it on my computer it says no match and I'm not sure how to use the Internet Explorer to find the log.

By the way I appreciate the time you've given so far and I'm doing a lot better now than before you helped me so help me at your convenience, don't let me become to much of a burden. Weekend coming up and I hope your going to have a good one, thanks.

Well the most important things that I needed back I got and I couldn't thank you guys enough so I now reinstalled my window 7 basic to eliminate all the small stuff that could be replaced. You guys are real life savers. I am now using your anti mal-ware bytes program and I am getting another computer for everyone else to use in another room. Can you recommend anything else for me to keep me safer from future issues.

P.S.
Hope life is treating you well.

Right on...If there are no more issues, then we shall clean up!

Clean up System Restore

Now, to get you off to a clean start, we will be creating a new Restore Point, then clearing the old ones to make sure you do not get reinfected, in case you need to "restore back."

To manually create a new Restore Point

  • Go to Control Panel and select System and Maintenance
  • Select System

Hi there I've been away for a while because when I redid my windows 7 I did something wrong where the hard drive image was red in color, that the OS went into and then within minutes of using my computer I started getting a mess. that said not enough memory space or something, well I took this computer to my brother to redo my system for me, so I got it back and now this is a raid 0 system with two 320 GB's instead of the two TB's and the Windows is a Vista Ultimate that he had been looking for me for my editing & 3 GB's of ram more.
Well I still did all that you said to do per the instructions above, because the external hard drives that might be infected I am still using. I guess all seems well but before I started to perform the instructions I checked my external hard drives and found that I can't see the contents like their invisible but the folders properties of the folders say a high volume of the contents are still there like 30 GB's depending on which folder I click on, do you know how I can fix this? I didn't checked the contents of the folders since you & I fixed my computer I just saw that I retrieved the folders back into my hard drives and presumed.

As always thanks for your precious time.

I would recommend to get your Windows Updates done first, and get an antivirus.

I would recommend to purchase an antivirus program for best protection. Would you like to know a list of those?

Otherwise, here is a list of free antivirus programs...

I recommend a few different antivirus programs, which work very well and are free, so it is your choice.

Hello Dragon Master Jay thank you for these Free Virus programs advise but I'm really interested in knowing what you would get yourself, if you don't mind letting me know.

Dragon Master Jay I couldn't thank you enough for the time you take out of your personal life that has made mine a bit easier to breath in, and though there is only so much I can do in return trust that I do my extreme best to pay it forward to the world around me too.

I personally understand it takes a unique ability for a person to carry the weight of such warmth and kindness in a sort of highly unappreciated society so I do wish you the most flourishing accomplishments in your daily endeavors.

Sorry this seems as a over the top tribute explanation of yourself driven efforts but it is a factual reality and ok to let one feel the honor of such positive integrity. OK, no I won't write like this all the time in case you're wondering, I just understand, lol.

That's very wonderful to hear. I'm most dedicated, at my young age, as an expert in the field of Windows Security. However, if it weren't for those that I work with, I couldn't do this. Our entire staffing team on the four websites we help operate are highly maintained on the latest knowledge of security threats, and we refuse to make anyone pay for it.

For the antivirus program I most recommend is Kaspersky Antivirus. It yields the highest results in antivirus testing groups, and is one of the most trusted. It's antivirus product is well worth its cost. If you would like to know more, please click on the Kaspersky logo in my signature and it will take you to the appropriate product choice page so you can understand all of the different products.

While I would rather see you interested in Kaspersky Internet Security, the antivirus program will suffice enough. Both programs are well maintained and well above average for any security program. We're truly lucky Kaspersky exists as one of the best, because it beats most other products by miles. :o)
