Or if you really want to be banal and have Windows XP go to start then run and type msconfig then hit enter…first page will display a button that says “launch system restore” do that and select an earlier date…i wouldn’t do it though because it can cause problems ---

Windows security updates will help prevent against virusi, Defender is a beta spyware scanner/removal tool. True some software will be more effective. Did you run the Defender updates after the install? Clearing out your Internet Explorer temp files and cookies usually does the trick. The only problem with Windows System Restore is this; if you computer has problems, it backs up those problems along with the restore schedule. Then when you restore the system, not only does it unpack the usual Windows files but the problems as well. Its more of a problem with virusi than spyware but its a possibility. This is why you should disable system restore if you are cleaning your machine of virusi.
