getting system restore to work after moving infected system vol file to chest
« on: May 27, 2009, 01:47:18 PM »
I moved an infected system volume/restore file to the chest. Since then I cannot
get system restore to restore to any previous restore point, in windows xp home ed.
What do I have to do to get the system restore to work? If other information needed
let me know? Appreciate any help.

Disable System Restore on Windows ME, XP or Vista.
Boot.
Enable it again.

Moving a file to Chest broke the restore point but shouldn't block all of them.

I have to agree that moving a single infected restore point to the chest shouldn't have this effect. System Restore can at times be somewhat unreliable, I have chosen to use something else to replace that function.

Starting from scratch is probably best, disable, reboot, enable, considering you had a detection in there.
