    Acronis might be better, Norton works well every time for me, that is all I ask when the computer is messed up!! One thing that could be a lot better would be if the Norton could tell me what was changed at each restore point, it just gives me the date and time..... I have to guess, but typically I know about how long I have noticed problems and just go back well before the start..

  2. No...don't do this...
    If all else fails, reformat your hard drive (after backing up your important files of course)..
    But avoid those spyware, adaware, antivirus bullshit...they only give you viruses and more problems...

    Introduction

    Ever wondered which program has a particular file or directory open? Now you can find out. Process Explorer shows you information about which handles and DLLs processes have opened or loaded.
