MagicSanta Inner circle Northern Nevada 5845 Posts	Posted: Sep 18, 2010 12:12 pm 0 Easiest way to avoid virus' is to not let kids near the computer. Worse virus I ever got that actually shut down my system was when I looked up the manual for a new DVD player on line. I went to the site that said it was for the manual, hit download, and there came the virus.

acesover Special user I believe I have 819 Posts	Posted: Sep 18, 2010 11:07 pm 0 Can one get around a virus by using "System Restore"? Just pick a date before the virus hit your computer. Or won't that work? If I were to agree with you. Then we would both be wrong. As of Apr 5, 2015 10:26 pm I have 880 posts. Used to have over 1,000

Just pick a date before the virus hit your computer. Or won't that work? Theoretically. But that's a bit extreme. If you have a particularly nasty virus, that might be the best choice...like with a boot sector virus (hope you never get one). Using a quality scanner like Norton/Symantec, with weekly (or daily) virus definition updates and weekly (or daily) scans will do you better.
