I had a virus which I got help from bleepingcomputer.com to resolve. When all was well again, I was told it was necessary to reset system restore to prevent my computer from being accidentally reinfected by using some old restore point(s). To create a fresh, clean restore point, I was told to:
Turn system restore off.
Restart computer.
Turn system restore back on.
All went well until the last part. When I tried to turn it back on, however, in the System Properties' System Restore tab, under Protection settings, it just said "Searching" for Available Drives. It said that for a long time, and I don't have so many drives that this should take more than a second. Until it identified drives, however, I couldn't turn system restore back on.
I was told to try it in Safe Mode, but it turned out System Protection isn't an option there. Then it was suggested that I download your Windows Repair All-in-One, which I did. I've run through the processes on Step 2 and Step 3, as was suggested at bleepingcomputer, and am in Step 4 trying to create a system restore point.
How long is this supposed to take? I've had it running for a couple of hours now and nothing really seems to be happening. In fact, earlier, I used Task Manager to stop it because I thought it had stalled, and then tried again. As I say, it's been a couple of hours now. It says it's "Creating Restore Point," but I'd like to have an idea of how long this should take.
Since it's nearly 11 p.m. here, I'm just going to leave it on all night, but if it doesn't create a restore point by morning, what advice do you have for me to accomplish this?
Thank you!
