Windows 7 Error Recovery help please
Yesterday my computer was attacked by the Live Platinum Virus, I bought PC Tools and that removed the virus from my computer.
Now I am having trouble on starting Windows. I get the "Windows Error Recovery" screen on startup or restart. And now I also get a blue screen that says something about "dumping files" at the bottom, it goes by so quickly I can't read everything.
I've done some reading on the internet and most say that my registry has been compromised and to buy a registery cleaner. Is this correct? I am afraid to do anything, I don't want to lose what is on my harddrvie.
I went to system restore and chose a restore point but then was afraid if I did that I would any programs I had installed, like the PC Tools I just installed last night.
I am not to computer savy so any help will be much appreciated, thank you!
