I know when doing a system clean up you only get the option to delete all but the most recent restore point, (on XP Pro) and if there was anything lurking on the PC, surely it would make sense to wipe all previous stored points.

Infection

Hi Blues & Two's,

Trash Norton and install NOD32 also Microsoft's very good "Security Essentials". However this kind of infection comes from visiting infected sites and the security suite may not pick it up. The first thing that happens, as you have seen is that things are disabled. Another favourite way of infection is from an infected memory stick.

You may have been lucky with the restore because the last restore point was made before the infection occurred. Often the restore will restore everything including the virus.

Good luck - Nedrover

Thanks Nedrover - I made sure the restore point was a good long time before we noticed the infection.

I shall be canvassing opinion from friends/relatives/the IT dept at work/the internet/complete strangers/wild animals etc etc before I go for my next antivirus software application!
