Guest TheSlaz Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 Just removed a virus from my son's computer. Went to restore the computer from a good clean point and I noticed that all the System Restore points are named "Virus Alert: Software Distribution service 3:00 A.M." Concerned about the "Virus Alert" part of the description. Can I safely restore; or is this telling me that there is a virus in the restore point?

Important re: Safe Mode If you happen to find a problem that you can’t uninstall / delete, reboot the computer, and go into Safe Mode. To get into Safe mode, tap F8 right at Power On / Startup, and use UP arrow key to get to Safe Mode from list of options, then hit ENTER. RESCAN your computer with your Anti-Virus, Malwarebytes and Spybot S & D while in Safe Mode. -- Mad Mike "TheSlaz" wrote: > You are absolutely right on.

Guest TheSlaz Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 Re: Virus Alert in System restore I have had Malwarebytes on my computer for some time now as I find it to be very effective and fast. Used it; Hijackthis and Trend Micro's house call to get the computer back to a working state. I then did a system restore and it appears to be back to normal. Tomorrow evening I will do a complete scan with BitDefender. When that is done and it does it's cleaning; I will create a restore point. Thanks for your input and suggestions mttc. As for everyone else spouting of here; I've got one thing to say. Man; you obviously have toooooo much time on your hands!!!
