Is there a way to restore a computer that got infected by an adware program, instead of using a scanner anti-virus or anti-adware scanner? [br]

In Windows XP, the operating system has restore points so if something goes wrong, the operating system can go back to a previously saved restore point. This way any program that was installed and did some kind of damage to the software, using the restore point would eliminate this problem. [br][br]The restore point is located under System Tools and can be quite affective. If you have an adware program and you want to get it out of the system, you just use a restore point that was previous to the day you got the adware, and the operating system will reinstall the settings for the operating system files that were enabled previous to the adware program being installed. Many people have used this method and found it worked very well. [br][br]

With the advent of wireless Internet, more and more computer users are entering the world of cyber space.

Yet, while these users are well aware of the importance of the protection of their computer when hooked up to regular internet providers, they are often oblivious to the fact that the same cyber dangers, and in fact even more, exist in the world of WiFi.

What you may not know is that same Internet connection that makes it possible to check your email from the comfort of your bed also makes it easier for hackers to access your personal information.

It is for this reason, the sharing of the wireless Internet connection, that protecting your computer when wireless is even more important than ever before.
