Hello Jay
I am a 98 user myself although I have had occasion to dabble with XP machines.
But yes, from what I
have read if you have discovered a virus, it can hide in system restore so it
seems the advice is to
temporarily turn the feature off, reboot and then scan for and delete any
viruses discovered and
then re-enable the feature. I have never seen any similar advice concerning
the use of GoBack but
assume the same principle would apply.
However, getting back to the original question by Nev (sounds better than
hwnev, which I can't get
my tongue around :-), in his/ her case the purpose of the exercise was to
restore the Adobe
Elements2 program and I think I did point out that whichever of the methods
were used, the Spyware
would be restored and Nev would have to run Spybot and AdAware again to
eradicate it but when
re-running both programs have a closer look at what was marked for quarantining
and anything that
looked remotely linked to Adobe should be left intact. One could in fact
quarantine one item at a
time until you discovered which item disabled Adobe upon quarantining and then
restore it. It may
be an innocent feature, wrongly identified by one of the programs.

Hello Rupert,
I thought that where there was evidence of an attack that all the Restore
Points needed cancelling?
Otherwise, as you say you would never know which one might be before or after.
Doesnt the Restore
Points have a cache that needs to be started over?
