IT guys, please help. Somehow I cought a virus

avg is a good free scanner....I worked on computers for 8 years so normally when I get a virus I don't screw around with anti-virus software...I just completely erase my computer and start from scratch with a fresh copy of windows....BUT before you go getting ahead of yourself there is a VERY simple step you should try first to see if it fix's your problem.

not sure which version of windows you are running but normally if you go to start,programs,accessories,system tools you can click on the "system restore" option...... it will give you the choice of choosing to what date in which you wouldl ike to restore to.

so lets say you know your computer ran good on febuary 1st of 2010 and there is an option to restore to that date......click that and follow the on screen step by step guide and let the computer do its thing.....the computer will reboot and all should be well.

its sounds like a "wuss" of a virus so I am sure a system restore will fix the problem.....more hard core virus's require going into the depths of the hard drives and deleting currupted files and use of anti virus software and sometimes a reinstall of the operating system.

hope that helps ya out
