Here is how for XP users, but VISTA users have similar instructions. 1. Click Start. 2. Point to All Programs. 3. Point to Accessories. 4. Point to System Tools. 5. Click System Restore. 6. Follow the instructions on the wizard. This will not erase any photos or files you have created, it just takes your system back to a time when the virus was not there. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/helpandsupport/learnmore/systemrestore.mspx http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-is-System-Restore Go Back in Time before your system was infected by this Trojan by using SYSTEM RESTORE!

We have no files saved on this machine and only 1 program loaded. Would it be "cleaner" to erase the hard drive and start over? We wouldn't be losing any data that we are concerned about keeping. If so what is the best way to scrub a hard drive and get it completely free from the virus? I loaded Macafee and it did nothing. Removed it and then loaded AVG and it also did nothing. I'm not comfortable with doing this manual removal process. I have a new Dell XP machine that somehow got Desktop Defender 2010 on it.
