I have a virus that will not allow me to system restore my computer. (It will go to pick a restore date but will not go further).Nor will it let me reboot my operating system. It will start the c.d. but then an error message to say window installer will not start.
Can anyone help me to get going again? Thank yOU.

I have a couple of ideas. Try running any spyware or antivirus during safe mode. Turn your computer on and hit the F8 key until you see your start up screen and in all four corners it will say safe mode. You can get on majorgeeks.com and get free downloads for spyware and anti virus software. Good Luck!

You probably need to mount your disk as a secondary disk on another machine. The other option would be to boot up to a DOS prompt, do a format /q/u c: then reboot and load from your CD's again (destruction of all data on drive including the virus).

What anti virus software are you using, if none go download avg from download.com once its installed run it............ it will at least tell you the name of the virus you have. Once you find out the name you can then do your homework on how to remove it. Some anti virus softwares will remove viruses as well.

I'm sure that someone here can help you.
I had an infection from a user link, right here on Yahoo.
My anti virus cleaned it.
Be careful of unknown links here.

go to http://bitdefender.com and scan online for free no need to download anytthing. It will scan your computer and delete any viruses it finds automatically. This should get rid of the infection.

Take antivirus like ANTIVIR first.
Then if it's still the same what you can do is take our all your important data and format your hard disk...
