Answer 1

It prob. does but ya do a scan on it like ya

Answer 2

If you do a system restore you will most likely lose some information. If a restore point was never created it wont restore. Windows xp does create restore points often but you can do it manually.Run a virus scan, adware and spybot. Clear out your temporary internet files, cookies, history by right clicking on your internet explorer icon and selecting internet options.
