I also teach a class on how to properly back up data for re-vamping or any other reason , you can all hit me up any time you want xfire or TS .

If a virus gets into your system back-up, you are (literally) screwed and you will never get it out. System restore works great to neutralize a malware - NOT A VIRUS. There is a huge difference between the two. If you do get a virus, the first thing you should do is DISABLE system restore untill you rip the virus out of your system. I appreciate that you are trying to help but please make sure the advice you are giving is correct. Rob / The Duck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mean to challenge you , but every single virus I have worked to remove has stayed removed I have allot of yrs of experience with computers and is what I do for a living and if you'd like we can discuss this on TS or Xfire or Skype to remedy your problem .

The only one I have had to use in anger is Acronis True Image and, I am delighted to say, it worked a treat. The only problem was, as the image I had made was a few weeks old, I lost some data. One can set it up to do incremental back-ups, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

(note) taking things like Media off of your C/: and putting it only in your storage drive will free up space on your C/: drive making it faster . 2.Executable's (ExEs) ExEs are all of your programs anything that is packed) a download program anything that requires unpacking or installing (Example) you buy a malware cleaner it comes with a download and an email containing a product key which the key is placed on a notepad with wordwarp activated while the download (ExE) after installation is stored into the ExE folder (note) that notepads are the most important part of any computer because they hold and store ALL of your user names and passwords your serial and product keys , the dates you purchased your hardware and software all of your accounts information the Belarc Advisor Program---------------------------- I listed into a later post is just awesome it is a complete audit for your puter I have been using it for yrs and love it , Ok windows 7 has a great feature called Snipping Tool , which you can use to save Belarc's Audit as a JPEG talk about handy which you store on your storage drive in your media folder (remember to segregate each sub folder in each master folder (note) snipping tool can save anything (even material that's not copyable) as a JPEG) cool . (note use belarc as your daily weekly or monthly backup and to remember to back your game profile user data . 3. Bookmarks and Favorites save all of your bookmarks and favorites (Example) if using firefox first you'll want to make a folder to store all of your browsers favorites and bookmarks firefox users click on Bookmarks next click on show all bookmarks next click on import export , you'll want to export all bookmarks to the location folder on your storage drive (if need direction for any browser let me know) Ok let me know if you all need any help or ask any questions (I am here for my Brother's and Sister's)...............................David A. your friendly neighborhood.......................................PSYCOKILLER Edited March 12, 2012 by PSYCOKILLER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This prorgram will backup any Files / Folders you want, both: full and incremental. There are three versions availabale: Free, Personal Edition and a company edition) You can schedule the backups etc.... http://www.2brightsparks.com/syncback/index.html My personal opinion: Using a restore point is one way to try to remove crap. But if the Virus etc has found his way into "System Volume Information" (e.g. the antivirus tool didn't detect it before a new restore point has been created) you can not be 100% sure, that the restore point is clean. I personally would never trust a system again that has been infected with such crap. Save your Data re-install. Regardless if the virus has been removed or not. I would not call into question what you say Psycho, please do not misunderstand.

I know the Win cmd well. The howto is very detailed, and easily understandable. Bot not every "normal" user is able to detect bad files or to distinguish such files from system-related ones. I just wanted to clarify that everyone has to know what he/she does, especially when deleting files within the Windows folders. Regarding SyncBack: I'm using the free edition without having any problems. Didn't benchmark this tool until now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
