1. Go to Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore
2. Click on System Restore Settings.
3. CHECK Turn off System Restore and click OK.
4. Restart your computer.
5. Follow steps 1 and 2 to return to the settings, uncheck Turn off System Restore, and click OK.
6. Create a new restore point and close the program.

System Restore will now be active again. If you would like to learn more about System Restore, go here.


Make sure you keep both Windows and Java up-to-date. And of course, you'll want to update your anti-virus and scan once a week in SAFE Mode while you're sleeping or out doing something.

And, of course, be very careful the next time you decide to use someone's flash drive. It's like sharing a needle. Terrible comparison, I know, but it's true. If you've been following along, you should have some good programs on your computer. Read unlovedwarrior's signature and get anything mentioned that you don't already have.
