Greetings,I have not posted for a while. I would like to ask for opinions , as to which is the preferred software for virus Removal? I recently ran Webroot Spy Sweeper, and then Ad-Aware through this system. Ad-Aware cleaned other problems that Spy Sweeper didn't.I occasionally have a Mssearch Exe. pop up showing it found 4 critical errors. I open Task Manager, and end process-it goes away for a short time, then appears again!I utilize SBCYahoo Dsl, and I think I picked up a Bug. Would System Restore benefit me? Thank You -EZ

System restore will not help you if you picked up a bug, because a lot of times they are stored in the registry. Doing a System Restore will only restore an already corrupt registry. You should turn off System restore and do a virus scan in Safe Mode. After the scan, you can enable System Restore again. I use AVG antivirus. It works pretty well and it's free. You can also do a scan at www.trendmicro.com. Good Luck
