Hello, I am still having trouble with my yaha.k virus, and I can't seem to get rid of it. All the AV programs that I have been recomended have found viruses, but none of them can delete them because my restore option is still on. I can't get into any control pannel folders to change this, because the worm always shows error message with this message: "Windows could not find C:\windows\Rundll32.exe. You may have typed the name incorrectly in Run dialog box, or another open program can not find a system file. To Search for a file, click the start button, and then click search." Thus, I can't get into the systems folder nor properties for my computer to disable the restore option. Thus, I can never delete the virus. Also, I have no disk for Windows, as I am in Japan, trying to fix this. Anyway, if anyone has any advice, it would be greatly appreciated, and have a happy new year... Thanks for your time...

The infected files in your restore archive are the least of your worries. You cannot be re-infected by them unless you perform a system restore.

Was Yaha.K the only virus you were infected with? Have you repaired the .exe file association that was changed by Yaha?

Are you able to run any of your programs?
