system restore settings for infected XP pc

[allis]

What should I set these too, just 8/10 or something before the worm or what?

I just don't want to mess it up more

thanks

What do you mean 'set these to'? Do you mean what date should you restore to? Follow the steps in thread779-621790 where you posted this same question.

if you mean System restore date, no, I think you should clean your system and patch it, that should be easier and less of a risk. (I am totaly assuming you're computer has been infected by the msblast.exe) Although you may want to get some more opinions on the matter before deciding what to do.

After you have removed this worm and you a happy that your machine is clean, I would create a new restore point on the clean system.

Next I would use the "More Options" tab of the Disk Cleanup tool to remove all but the most recent restore point. This will prevent reinfection via old restore points.
