windows system restore has to be the most annoying and unthorough recovery tool i've ever worked with.

spyware maybe?

click on 'more security software' on the right, provides links to microsoft anti-spyware, ad-aware and spybot (recommend at least two if not all three)

reformat.

discuss

ctrl+alt+delete any programs that are running that shouldnt be.

step 1: go to google.com, search and download 'AVG anti-virus'. In my opinion the best anti-virus program out there, and I believe you can download a free version.

step 2: install it, update it, reboot.

step 3: go to google.com, search and download 'Spy Sweeper'. I believe it has a free 14 day trial.

step 4: install it, update it, reboot.

step 5: run both programs get rid of all the shit that it comes up with.

step 6: reboot, re-install your cd burning program and any programs that dont seem to wanna work.

system restore... go back to a check point well before you started noticing problems.

[FeelGood]

ive had NOTHING but problems with system restore.
i personally DONT reccomend it, but if your computer is already fucked up, making it even more fucked up doesn't hurt as bad I guess.

[Chewy]

uninstall firefox... also remove any files from your registry... ( if you dont know how to remove from the registry then dont do it)

then install again.. check for upgrades to the program.. also check to see if you installed something that might cause problems with firefox

then smoke some weed

this doesn't really help much..

the garbage that isn't suppose to be there, will come back when you restart

you have to type in

"msconfig"

then go to the "startup" tab.. and uncheck everything that shouldnt be there.

Fuck spysweeper. It's pretty pointless. Spybot and ad-aware together cover everything I've ever seen spysweeper cover. And they're both 100% free.
