Hi Chuck,
Again I'm going to need step-by-step instructions. I downloaded STINGER,
and the instructions said to, "Disable System Restore" before running it. It
said that disabling System Restore would, "erase all my Restore Points". I
was afraid to do that because I have been working for months with Dell
trying to get my computer to work properly, and we have re-installed my
operating system three times. As we did that, new problems would start
happening. I have not been able to install all my software yet, but I think
I have one Restore Point that was OK before I installed some software. So, I
ran Stinger without disabling my System Restore. I can't figure out how to
REMOVE what it found. It doesn't give an option to do that where it LISTS
what it found. I went into PREFERENCES and checked REMOVE and ran it again.
After I did that, it didn't say it had removed anything, so I ran it another
time to see if my computer was clean. When I clicked on LIST, the same list
of viruses was still there. I don't think it removed them. What should I
do?
