The virus has a long history and never disappears itself. We are getting more and more frustrated with this annoying thing. We look for efficient way to remove virus with all our strength. Somebody ask that does system restore remove virus? No clear answer can be given to this question, it depends how you infected the virus.
Can system restore clean up virus completely? In order to get the ghqe, we should first understand what is System restore? System restore is a utility of Windows. It was designed to help people to get back system date, system files, programs and registry key. The original intention is obvious and you can use System Restore to save a corrupt system.
Virus is so unfathomable that can destroy your System Restore function. If virus disables the function, you may receive error message when you restore system. A message saying “Cannot restore the computer to an earlier restore point, no changes have been made to your computer” pops up. The only way is to reinstall system. Virus makers are so crafty that they have notice you want to delete virus using System Restore and make some strategies. This is why 60% people should buy a CD or use anti-virus program.
To use System restore, you should first create a Restore Point. For most users, because the Point file is so large, they will only create C drive as the Point. The virus has Self-replicating ability. So it not only infects your C drive. In that case, System Restore is useless.
Sector is the most safe place for virus. There are no ways to clean up virus from sector. Even System Restore and reinstalling can not help you get rid of the virus. People have to quarantine virus using anti-virus.
More problems system restore brings to you: System Restore allows for the rolling back of system files. It never restores the driver. If you install a program or hardware after Restore Point creating, the problem may occur. The driver of software and hardware can not be used on the previous system because the registry key has been restored. This case leads to system corrupt such as Blue Screen and computer freeze.
Then we can say that System Restore is not omnipotent. It does not remove virus in all cases.
Tips: Windows registry is the most important place. Regularly cleaning up it can help you prevent computer from crashing. Also virus messes up your computer by modifing the registry, repairing registry gives you a lot of benefits. Recommend you scan you computer and clean up registry now.
