WindowsXP repairs

You may find that a system restore won't function depending on the nasties you have on the computer. Many pieces of malware insert themselves in to the System Restore files, and simply reappear. If you have a pre-scam full backup you can restore, that should work, but most folks usually are better off simply cleaning the infections. What I have found to work very well almost all of the time, is to download and run TDSSKiller, followed by ComboFix, then installing MalwareBytes AntiMalware and running a full scan. Followed by something like Eset's Online Scan.

This year, I'm making a real effort to be a kinder, gentler slgrieb, so rather than say that IoBits and AVG blow dead and decaying donkeys, I will simply say that there are more efficacious products available. A lifetime subscription to MalwareBytes AntiMalware is $25, and it's an exceptional deal. If you want decent, free AV software, Avira is pretty much top tier, but I still suggest decent payware such as Eset NOD32 or Kaspersky. I have a wife and two daughters, so I spend more on toilet tissue every month than either of these products cost per year.
