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. |

I picked up a virus that completely destroyed my registry and removed all boot files, which was a major pain in the ass...thankfully I had made a clone of the drive a week earlier and was able to get back up fairly quickly.

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

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. |
