Restore windows instantly:Reboot Restore Rx

You received an attachment to your email named a free screen saver application.


Wow neat a free screen saver and your first impulse is to install it immediately (What can possibly go wrong), you clicked it to install then all hell breaks loose

Task manager no longer works, most of your files are either locked or hidden, and many of your application including your antivirus no longer works. This is often the case with most virus related problems in windows.




You now have to either try to fix it using an anti virus, or do a clean installation which is really a big pain (especially to the poor IT guy you will probably push this problem to).

You can now avoid all this hassle by installing the free software Reboot Restore Rx
(windows xp and above)

1. Install the software

2. It will now create a restore point.

3.Disable the Restore on Reboot option from the system tray icon. If you have disabled the system tray icon, you will need to launch it manually if you do not want to loose all your data upon restart (You have been warned)

4. Right-click the system tray icon again and select Restore on Reboot if you want to create a new restore point.

5. If you ever need to restore your system, restart the pc, press "Home" key when the Reboot Restore Rx screen is shown upon boot up

6. Select Restore Now (Warning! You will loose all changes done after the creation of the Baseline)

7. Done 

(Extra option > give me beer money as thanks)
