HDD SMART virus on my HP PC and lost my tab ACCESSORIES and restoration of the system.

I have Vista pre-installed on my PC HP - has caught the virus in HDD SMART 2008, but it was removed. Now, I do my tab ACCESSORIES more and no longer have a point system - restore is just not there!  I get error code 08x004230F - something about a shadow?  Is it possible to reinstall Vista to factory settings, when I click on "all programs", I again have my windows ACCESSORIES tab?  I have home made recovery discs, but prefer not to do a clean install?  don't want nothing more loss.

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?
    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, MSE, Comodo, etc..
    What is the issue that you are experiencing that you think that the system restore will be remedied (or you are just convenient)?  System Restore is not a time machine, but of course, this should work if you think you need.
    Some tools Anti Virus 'protect' your system so that they will not allow a restore of the system work properly.

    For example, if you use Norton/Symantec products, you will see a message like this:
    Restoration incomplete. Your computer cannot be restored...
    It is also a popular Symantec problem (well, I'll be polite and call an "undocumented feature"...), they wrote an article about it:
    According to what you use for malware protection, you may need to disable the product temporarily, do the system restore and then turn the products light up again when the system restore is complete.
    Sometimes you need start your system in Mode safe and so that your protection programs are not running, and then do the system restore.  Tips from Microsoft in some of their articles that if the system restore does not restore your computer, start in Safe Mode, and then run the system restore.  It works for some configurations.
    System Restore is sometimes so afflicted or Restore Points are suspicious, the best solution is to reinstall your system restore.  This will remove the old Restore Points, but sometimes it's the only way to fix a broken system restore.  You don't have to reinstall XP, only the part of system restore.
    That can leave you with your problem of unspecified origin that you hope the system restore will fix (using a system restore is usually not equivalent to fixing the problem though).
    Give these ideas some consideration if they apply to you.
    Sometimes malicious will afflict your system restore to prevent you to find and remove malware.  It would much rather you trick into thinking that you need to repair or reinstall your XP when it is not necessary.
    No matter what you use for protection against malware, I do so and then only begin to solve any problems:
    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs can solve any problems:
    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
    It can be uninstalled later if you wish.

    The scans by operating clean, reboot, test and we can fix any other issues

  • SDS 3 and the restoration of the system

    I remember when this case came in the newsgroups.
    I was wondering if there was ever any solution or a direct link between the entries of the SDS in the system restore works not when a point of the SDS was used to do a restore.
    We had to clean SR and restart to fix the problem.
    I found some discussions in these forums, but not definitive answers.
    Quote-
    Software Distribution Service 3.0 (which was apparently part of an update of Microsoft) deploys the system on my system restore points, sometimes several times a day, which do not work to restore and seem to be preventing my restoration of the system to work, does anyone know how to remove it?
    I'm on windows XP.   Google searches showed other people with the same problem but no clear solution.  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Words

    The fist link - the writer not uderstand what is the Restore Point SDS... waiting for the mystery to solve (there are no mystery), ZoneAlram (and other antiwhatever applications) is / are known to interfere with the SR, simply because MSE and ZA are whatever it is does not mean that your system is clean, 'weird' things , there is no "uninsall for SDS 3.0, as he waits to see if the SDS will reinstall itelsef.»  This is not how it works at all.

    Then he comes back and update more later saying that he waited two weeks and did not saw if the mysterious 3.0 SDS reinstall itself, so the mystery has been solved or whatever the problem solved.  There is no restore SDS points more because he unintalled MSE during his trials and errors troubleshooting.  As soon as he gets an Autoamtic update, it will be another SDS Restore Point.

    If he looked in the newspapers, he would have known what were the Points of restoration of the SDS.

    It does not (maybe it does now).  There is no mystery.

    The suspense is too sickening.

    Poster telelogiciel google 3.0 and realized it was a Microsoft program? This is not true.

    Restore points don't launch and everything has been tried?  The poster not to uninstall your Norton or McAfee products correctly and you have problems now?  Restore points only are not supposed to launch the third party tools known to conflict with SR No were not uninstalled properly and everything was not considered.

    There is no connection, no error message... "he works all simply" with no indication of what does not work way.

    Contain all of these links are errors in steering, auto injuries, misunderstandings and misinterpretations.

    A control point is something different.  XP will want to restore all 122400 seconds (24 hours) a new Point.  It is also configurable.  If 24 hours requires no restore points and system is idle long enough (no surf, no email, no keyboard, no disk, no malware scan activity, etc.) XP will make a new Restore Point and it will be called a system checkpoint.

    If MSE caused a Restore Point 23.9 Twitter.com, you won't see from Checkpoint System because it is not yet time for one.

    If you have installed MSE and it updates at least once every 24-hour cycle, you can never see another check system since the SDS of the MSE update will restart the 24-hour clock for when creating an automatic Restore Point.  Disable or uninstall MSE and you will start to review the points of checking your system at least every 24 hours (if your system is not afflicted).

    System checkpoints occur once a month or two - they happen when they are supposed to arrive and when they should occur.

    Knowing that XP wants to create a new RP every 24 hours (but won't if your system is not idle), your system could be on, but not idle long enough and then you close before the automatic PR can be created, you can go to all the days or weeks with no restore points in your calendar.  This does not mean that there is a problem.  The great divide is because you never leave your system sitting pretty long so that the automatic create Restore Point.

    On my laptop, I've never a Restore Point the weekend because I don't use that computer is jerking.  It takes about 20 minutes of inactivity for my 'idle timer' to kick, but he never gets a chance.  My laptop will sometimes 2 weeks with no restore point (I do not use MSE for nothing).  If I just turn on my laptop and let it sit for 15-20 minutes, and there has been no PR in the last 24 hours, a new RP will be created as it is supposed to be.

    If you see a KB update in a Restore Point, you have installed, not the component of the SDS automatic update.  Even if you install a KB option, it will appear as a SDS 3.0 Restore Point.  What happened when that RP was created is in the log files.  There is no mystery.

    Do, or do not. There is no test.

    I need YOUR voice and the points for helpful answers and propose responses. I'm saving for a pony!

    zip files

    I used the backup and restore of the backup C on pc.  Then tried to open the files saved with IE.  IE went into free fall.  ???

    I have no idea what opened the backup files when you have double-clicked, or if you will not quote you took after doing this...  However, the official way to 'Browse' the content of the backup...

    You can view the contents of your backup by opening the wizard to restore files.

    1. Open backup and restore by clicking on the button start , clicking Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance and then click Backup and restore.

    2. Do one of the following:

      • To view your files, click Restore my files.

      • To display files all the, click on restore files for all users. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    3. Do one of the following:

      • To browse the contents of the backup, click Browse for files or click Browse for folders.

        When you browse folders, you will not be able to see the files in a folder. To view individual files, use her browse for files option.

      • To search the contents of the backup, click search, type all or part of a file name, and then click search.

    If you back up to the top PC (VHD) integer then you mifght consider this trick:
    http://www.Petri.co.il/mounting-Vista-backups-using-Windows-complete-PC-Backup.htm

    According to the edition of Windows Vista that you have (and how useful, you will find the possibility to look at old versions of a given file and possibly restore), this could be useful to you:
    http://www.ShadowExplorer.com/
    (not a replacement of relief.)

    With regard to the rate of success vs. failure rate of backup - it is difficult to measure.  Indeed most of the people backs up incorrectly.  It's really * not * enough to set a backup and forget about it.  If you test ever that your backups work/glance to see if you are backing up the good thing - it's just not wise.  Although most people expect that it is essential that the backups were working properly (not a test, a real emergency) to be discovered.  Most individuals who report failures, unfortunately, fall into this category "when my aircraft crashed and I went to my backups - it turns out _ backup _ does not and never told me...» ».

    A question... If you manually create a ZIP file (not a backup) - can you still Explorer in it as a folder?

    To test... Create a folder on your desktop.  Copy some files into it - of different types.  I say COPY and not MOVE on the goal here - because you can just blow this folder and all that results from this folder later if it was all fair copies of things.

    Make a right click on this folder and choose "send to" and "compress (ZIP) file and give a name to the new 'folder '.  (It's really a file.)  On your desktop, you should have the original folder you created and copied some stuff in, and a new "folder" with the name you just gave.  If you open the 'new' folder - you should see the name of the folder that is still on the desktop and go to this folder, you should see the files.  You literally use Windows Vista to the 'discovery' inside a ZIP file as if it were a folder.

  • cannot change the date and time in the system restore

    How can I change the date and time in the system restore? When I try to create a new restore point, I can't change the date and time, the system automatically date and time in.

    System Restore will always set the date and time of any restore point created at the effective date and time of the machine.

    If you want to restore your computer to a date and an hour earlier, you must select restore from a restore point that was created at the earlier time.  This article explains how.

    With the help of the Windows Vista system restore
    http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

    My apologies if I misunderstood your question.  Why should change you the date and time when a restore point was created?  The only possibility of achieving a fictitious date and time will result in a change as actual date and time Windows or in the Bios, either option with unforeseen consequences.

  • Is there a process or program that I can use to restore the system and configuration of the system to the original

    Hello

    I would like to know if there is a microsoft tool or a suggested list of Microsoft that could help me restore the system and the system configuration files in the appropriate State. is not the restoration of the system. I don't know of retoring my computer to an earlier time, nor on the restoration of computer purchase. 

    I thought that my computer has been compromised in some way, and the intruder was accessing my unit via some sort of connection distance.

    I received the support of the malicious software company, and I think that my computer is fine now.

    And so the question with which I opened this post: I would like to know if there is a Microsoft tool or a suggested list of Microsoft that would help me to restore the system and the system configuration files in the appropriate State. I'm not taling about system restore. I speak not of retoring my computer to an earlier time.

    Whenever I start to notice the strange behaviour of my computer, I would like to launch this program and follow this procedure to reset all the settings and files to a suitable State. The reason why run alone to detect malware problems, and that if there is remote access to my computer inadvertently, the intruder can do a lot of editing of files which is not identified by the malware. and I believe that if I was able to run a program like this, all the changes took place, which expose my device, but the rules of behavior systems can be reversed for a proper state.

    I read an article on how to repair my operating system, but it forced me to get a copy of it; However, given that the supplied operating system with preinstalled on this computer, I could not follow the instructions. Article I read to all system and configuration files that meet the standards of the manufacturer, without losing files and installed programs.

  • Need to backup all programs and files without the System Image

    Hi all

    Recently, I myself in a dilemma. I installed 4 additional disks with the intention of creating a RAID volume supported by the BIOS. To do this, I need to change the BIOS setting of the controller which includes all the volumes, including my boot drive (that I don't intend to RAID). The problem I have is that when I pass the UEFI to RAID controller, Windows Recovery will not use the System Image I did. He said that the volume was created under a different arrangement (Bios vs. EFI).

    What are my options? Is there a different backup setting, which allows to keep all my installed software? I am not concerned with the data that I can copy it to an external volume, but it would take several days to get all of my software reinstalled. I would like to avoid this. I guess I'll have to reinstall Windows Pro 8.1 and then use a backup program to restore everything. If this is the case, then I need to know which backup program will work. If there is a better way, I would like to know. I see my options in the form, get another backup program, get a map of controller for the boot drive or the RAID volume or just reinstall.
