How to delete windows system restore virus

Microsoft support (Windows System Restore) is a feature that allows you to save a restore point of your computer's system files. This restore point can be used to roll back your computer's files to a working condition in case of a crash or file corruptions. However, if a virus has infected your system files, your restore point may be infected with the virus, too. The only way that you can completely remove the risk of this virus is by cleaning out your system restore points.

For Windows Xp: 

1. Click on the Start button, right click on the "My Computer" icon and choose "Properties" from the drop-down menu. This will open the Systems Properties window.

2. Navigate to the "System Restore" tab and Click the check box next to "Turn off System Restore" and the click "OK" button.

3. Choose "Yes" when prompted to confirm that you want to make this change.

4. Allow Windows to change the setting. When it is complete, the dialogue box will close. This will delete any infected system restore points and prevent Windows from making new infected restore points until you have cleaned the virus from your computer.

For Windows Vista:

1. Click the Start button, right-click on the "Computer" button and choose "Properties" from the drop-down menu. This will open up the Systems Properties window.

3. Remove the check next to your computer's hard drive from the drive select box.

4. Click the "Turn System Restore Off" button when prompted to make the change. This will delete any infected system restore points and prevent Windows from making new infected restore points until you have cleaned the virus from your computer.
