I think I have a virus
25 Answers
I’m running XP Home, IE8. For over a week my back button has required several rapid clicks to work on some sites. I now have some unsavoury pop ups even though pop up blocker is turned on. System Restore will not work on any date either, it says it has failed. I have run a full scan on Malwarebytes and AVG but they show nothing. I have also run all these in Safe Mode and still get the same results.
I was wondering if I had a virus in System Restore itself. I know to turn it off and do a restart but if it wasn’t there then I loose all the restore points.
Has anyone any advice please?
I also have an external hard drive for back up and I know I have added a few files recently but can’t remember if it was before or after I noticed the back button not working. Once I have cleared my problem will it be best to delete everything on the external hard drive and back up again?
I have to go out now but will check back when I return.
Many thanks in advance.
