CA malware problem
I do not have this problem on my XP machine because I have Ubuntu dual
booted and run Linux while online. I use my XP for my local computing
needs.

Therefore I do not need anti virus software.

It is possible, but these days kind of futile...  ShadowGIATL | 07/15/09

Antivirus is the worst virus possible  pauliusp | 07/09/09
Must be your A/V software because...  zenotek | 07/09/09
Because it often adds service(s) which start on boot.  ye | 07/09/09
That's best practice  Lerianis10 | 07/09/09
Perhaps, but irrelevant.  ye | 07/09/09

System resore is a POS!  InAction Man | 07/09/09
huh ?  sjaak327 | 07/10/09
Except that system restore requires known good files.  kd5auq | 07/09/09
Seems the AV software was the problem.  ShadowGIATL | 07/12/09
Software restore only works for legitimate installs  wolftalamasca | 07/13/09
