how do you do system recovery? i'm not too computer savvy......

I assume you are referring to "system restore"? In the case of my daughters pc, it wouldn''t run System restore, even in Safe mode. Somehow, it disabled it.

yes you are correct, but like i said you have to first prevent the software from starting then system restore. thats key otherwise you cannot do anything unless you have software that can remove it.

Been dealing with this stupid thing myself lately and its not kool, had pretty much the same issues as boa and I know some about pc's and tried many things but this thing locked everything up and even deleted all my restore points and it would even start in safe mode so at that point it was obvious a format was in order. Gonna save those steps posted but if he has as bad as I did dont think its gonna help him.
