Hi Clint, Yes, I have read the readme, so I knew there was a risk factor that some programs may not work properly. If I restore, I'll have to restore all the spyware because I don't know what is what.
Hmmm.......I've lost a lot of things with GoBack (comes with either Norton Systemworks or Internet Security- forgot which one- I have both) Nothing major- except some baby pictures that I had downloaded from my digital camera. You lose everything you've done from the restore point, documents, email, downloads, etc. I don't think I've ever tried the XP restore, though it's probably similar Lisa -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Support-OrpheusComputing.com Sent: Monday, April 05, 2004 1:26 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: PCWorks: Spybot, ad-aware, and software not working right If you check Readme for SpyBot or the Help, it will tell you to "remove at your risk" and it also states that many programs have malware within them and if you remove that malware, the program may not function. That's why like I said, you have to read the description on everything it finds and remove anything with caution. You can restore anyway and see what happens and then remove the cookies again. Yes, sometimes you have to keep malware if it's an integral part of software one uses. You don't lose anything with XP's restore as far as documents go. You only lose the programs that were installed after the last checkpoint. Now that's M$'s story, but I can tell you that I have lost downloads before after doing a restore, and they were just downloads on my Desktop! That was no problem since I just downloaded them again. Also if it removes anything like that you can't get again, you can always undo the restore. -Clint God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ) ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
