Removed Malware but now can only run in safe mode
On a similar theme, my old computer seems to have been infected with a malware virus. This kept sending really annoying pop-ups and whenever I tried logging on to the internet told me that it had detected viruses, trojans and malware on my computer and that I should download their programme to rid myself of this problem (all accompanied by glowing testimonials from those who'd downloaded their stuff). Unconvinced, I ran SpyBot, Adaware and AVG Anti Virus, plus Crap Cleaner. None worked. Used my WinASO registry cleaner, but that diddn't work either. I downloaded and purchased a recommended Spyware cleaner and finally it was removed! The only problem is that now my computer will only start in safe mode and three attempts to restore to previous restore points were unsuccessful. Does anybody out there have any idea of what I can do to restore my computer - short of reformatting the hard drive?
