Did the search and starting a new topic as new ways to fight these bastards may be available...

Instead of running all these various programs, my PC (and I guess most of em have it), have the ability to restore your computer back to a certain date. I noticed the infestation on Thursday, and havent really used my home computer much since then.

If I restore my computer back to last Tuesday or so, should that take care of the problem?

I understand I'll lose the little bit of stuff i may have did in the last few days. What do ya think?

Last night I spent three hours rerunning two different spyware programs, as well as the official AOL virus and spyware removal programs...

it HAS worked to a degre..I can use the net fine, with the exception of some of those bad pop ups still appear every 15 mi or so, and I cant get AOL IM to work....but i may be onto something...

I have done the system restore in the past, but forgot how i got there. I have a PC..Any help? Not doing a full system one, just wanna go back a week or so....Crap.
