I'm running Windows XP Professional, and I recently ran the system restore to remove a virus.
The virus was typical malware that appears to be a legitimate anti-virus program and asks you to purchase it to begin a system cleaning.
After system restore I don't see any signs of the virus, however I'm having a few settings issues. My sound will work temporarily, then it seems as if suddenly it goes out, as if my audio drivers are no longer installed. I can still hear the normal XP system sounds, but if I try to watch a video online there is no audio. Also, my taskbar will look fine one minute, then suddenly go to the very basic Windows look (not the XP skin).
I know that system restore can sometimes play with the settings. Does anyone know if this sounds like a virus or settings issue?
I would try re-installing my audio drivers, but I bought this computer for $300 from a friend and don't have all the software that would normally come with the purchase.
