re: spyware cookie name@~~local~~ Tuesday, March 1, 2005 at 9:20 am Windows Me Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by joe (7018 messages posted) One of the features of Windows Me System Restore. This feature, is used by Windows to restore files on your computer in case they become damaged. Windows Me keeps the restore information in the _RESTORE folder. These folders are updated when the computer restarts. If the computer is infected with a virus, or malware of any type, then it is possible that the virus could be backed up in the _RESTORE or System volume information folder. By default, Windows prevents System Restore from being modified by outside programs. Because of this, any repair attempts made by antivirus software will fail. To work around this, you must disable System Restore, and restart the computer. This will purge the contents of the _RESTORE or System volume information folder. You must then run a full system scan.... "i have windows me. " i don't exactly know what that means but this is a public help forum and not a competition.....
