If the virus was deleted it is gone. To be safe, install Windows again or restore an older (clean) image."A programmer is just a tool which converts caffeine into code" CLIP- Stellvertreter http://www.winvistaside.de/

Hi, Additionally, many viruses infect restore points. In order to clear the infected files permanently, we should clear the restore points. Please use the steps below to do so: 1. Click "Start, input "SYSDM.CPL" (without quotation marks) and press "Enter". 2. On the "System Protection" tab, click to turn off System Restore on all drives, and click "OK". 3. Please repeat the above steps to enable System Restore again. This is suggesiton only when the virus re-appear again and again.
