Operating System Windows ME and using AVG Free. The PROBELM is that every time I scan the computer is shows two viruses Have removed each time,  but when you scan again they are there and have done it many times over the past 2 weeks. They have the word restore in the name of the viruses.
Can anyone tell me how to get rid of them? Thanks.
1. Before Windows ME loads, press F8
2. Select safe mode
3. Disable System Restore
4. Rescan.You may want to press Ctrl instead of F8 for ME.ME REQUIRES CTRL? I recall pressing F8 when working on a Windows ME computer.I think it needs Ctrl, I never personally tried it because when I installed ME I deleted it after 5 minutes & put 98 back on.  Actually I think the key for setup is BIOS dependent. At that point in the boot process it's too early for the OS to play a part. If you can DISMISS the splash screen (if any), there is usually an on-screen message telling you what key to hit.

My 2¢ worth.  You're catching my problem Sidewinder, I neglect to read the screen too. LOL The 'other' boot options setup THING mate.Thank everyone will give safe mode a go and will let you know what happens.the key for safemode is f8 the same as winxp!!i would download spysweeper.......


or disconnect from the net and do this......locate the c:\windows\options\cabs  folder....use the search options...to find it......now you have found it...scroll down the list till you come across the scanreg icon...>>...now next to it is one called setup.... if you clicked this icon ...it will re-install winme will no file loss.....and will take it back to the day it was first booted up..........and disconnect from the net......thats the beauty of win9x........Maybe both F8 & Ctrl work?
Does anyone still have ME to try it?

Booting up in "Safe Mode" is an often-recommended step that many Windows users just aren't aware of. Win 95 and XP users, when Windows is loading, look for the "Starting Windows" message and when you see it come up, immediately press F8 (a few Win 95 machines still use F5 or Del). Win 98/ M E users can just hold down the Control key before Windows begins to boot up.

Hi Everyone Have done what was suggest Safe Mode etc. Did not clear our the viruses they are still there. One question it was suggested to disable system restore how do you do that?
