Ok bore, please listen. That is a well known, and often used "scam" virus. It pops up and says you are infected, go to "x" site and use "our" anti blah blah blah to clean your system. It is malicious, and destructive. Once it pops up on your screen, the only way to keep it from getting in is DO NOT CLICK ANY PART OF IT. Not yes, no, or the X at the top. Immediatly either hold alt and hit f-4, or go to start and shut down. Either of these things will keep the virus from getting on your computer. Now for the bad news. You activated it. You did a restore to an earlier date, and now it seems gone. It's not. It has a activation in which after you turn on your computer "x" amount of times, it re-activates. Depending on which version of the virus you got, depends on how many times it takes to re-activate itself. Some are 30, some are 100, etc. Point is, it is NOT gone, and it will be back. Your ONLY option at this point is to do a destructive recovery. Depending on your computer depends on which way you have to do it. I think it is f-11. You start your computer, and the second the screen starts to appear, spam f-11 key. (it may be f-10, can't remember.) This will open up the recovery options. Do NOT do a restore. Use advanced options, and follow the instructions for a destructive recovery. This will set your computer back to brand new, factort settings. Just like it came out of the box. Do NOT try to save stuff to a flash drive or disc to re-load them. If you do, you may be putting the virus right back on. (it imbeds itself in MANY programs) Hope this helps, as the advice comes from my computer professor at college.
