Default Re: Techno Geek Question

Electra's computer seems to be a magnet for malware.

I believe the following is the procedure for the stubborn ones that attack at startup ...

Go in and turn the OS Restore feature to OFF.

Reboot.

Log out and reboot again into safe mode.

Run the the various antispywares then.

Reboot back to normal mode.

If it looks safe, THEN you can turn Restore back to ON.

If that's not the exact procedure, it's at least 95% correct. A search for some of those keywords will probably take you to other forums or service pages that have the 100% correct procedure.

Hope that helps, PD.
