Hello,
I googled for information on something and one of the sites I went to made
my computer suddenly come up with a warning that my privacy had been
violated, possibly had a virus etc.
I have since learned that this is itself a virus. I did not d/l it but just
clicked the X, it however started to try to d/l. I think it was caught in
the Zone Alarm I run but I want to be sure.
I searched how to find if I had a problem but cannot find any of the exe
files and any HKEY that have "XP Cleaner" in them.
Someone told me to restore to an earlier date which I did.
When the restore was going through it asked me something like.." allow
system restore every time computer starts" or something like that, and would
not allow me to continue the restore unless I agreed.
So firstly "can someone please tell me if I did the correct thing?"
However on searching later on how to make sure I did not have this virus on
one site the instruction started with 1. Temporarily disable System Restore
(windows Me/XP)
so secondly "Why would this be the advice?"
I have done a full virus scan but it came up as "no virus."
Thank you for any help.
