FOlks, this is the 2nd time I have had to reformat and reinstall Windows XP due to ugly backdore trojans, malware and viruses that Spybot, Adware, Malwarebyte, SmitFraudFix, Kaspersky, ect just could not permantly delete. (It would remove then reinstall and respawn more infected files after the Safeboot reboots)
So my question is....knowing that these malicious OS infecting viruses are out there and pretty much inevitable at times, what is the BEST way to take preventive measures rather than having to REACT after its too late.
Is there a way that I can back up or take snapshots of my system incrementally right before Im about to download a questionable file or goto an unknown website?
Or are there other tips or methods you can recommend that can simply allow me to quickly go back to a certain healthy state in my system immediately after i detect something malicious....and if I can, will it remove the malicious code
I am just trying to ultimately avoid having to completely reformat, reinstall all my drivers and apps everytime I get one of these pesky malicious infections
thanks...I'd love to your what methods you guys do to help
