accidentally downloaded malware unable to do a system restore


Recommended Posts

i accidentally downloaded a java update from a website, but didn't know it was malware or contained a virus.  Some programs on my laptop stopped working and when I tried to do a system restore in regular mode it gave me an error message "system restore failed to extract the file (C:\) from the restore point.  An unspecified error occurred during system restore. (0x8000fff)"

 

How can I remove this from my computer?

Hello and welcome.  Please follow these guidelines while we work on your PC:

  • Malware removal is a sometimes lengthy and tedious process. Please stick with the thread until I’ve given you the “All clear.”  Absence of symptoms does not mean your machine is clean!
  • Please do not run any scans or install/uninstall any applications without being directed to do so.
  • Please note that the forum is very busy and if I don't hear from you within five days this thread will be closed.

Note: You need to run the version compatibale with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them. Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.
  • Double-click to run it. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
  • Press Scan button.
  • It will make a log (FRST.txt) in the same directory the tool is run. Please copy and paste it to your reply.
  • The first time the tool is run, it makes also another log (Addition.txt). Please attach it to your reply.
