If you create a new restore point, is virus/malware still present?
I've been trying to get rid of some kind of redireect malware using search and destroy, malwarebytes, and a few others. I think its under control, then this morning I downloaded PC Wizard, started to run it and it froze at 60%.
decided to uninstall, wouldn't, error message saying files are corrupt cannot remove.
Tried to Windows Explorer and all my desktop icons changed to IE icon. When I tried to open a program or file a dialogue box opened with the program name and the option to open or save but didn't do anything. The name of the box is "view downloads". It looked different than other dialogue boxes.
Anyway I booted into safemode tried to remove pc wiz, no go, so I created a earlier restore point. I just would like to know if the virus/maleware is removed because of the restore point or is it still in there?
