I'm running windows 2k professional. I understand this
does not have system restore disable? I have
downloader.tooncom virus and want disable restore to wipe
out corrupt files...any suggestions.
 
w2k does not have a restore function period.

to recover system files to original state, first get rid
of the virus, then run sfc /scannow this will recover
system files to original state.

I would hope and if not suggest you get a good AV software
and perform regular backups as well as backup system state.
 
SFC /SCANNNOW will only correct problems with default system files. If the
virus created new and hidden files you will still have problems. I'd
suggest rebuilding the box to be sure no remnants of the virus remain.
