- Step 5
System Restore maintains a backup of your programs however it may also backup infections therefore constant flushing is required to create a clean Restore Point.
- On the Desktop, right-click My Computer > Properties > System Restore tab.
- Check Turn off System Restore.
- Click Apply > Yes.
- Please wait a few moments to let it clear.
- After doing so, remove the check from Turn off System Restore.
- Click Apply > OK.
- System Restore will be working again and will have a new Restore Point.
- Step 6
My analysis shows me that you have Ask Toolbar installed in your system.
I strongly recommend you remove the program from your system for the following reasons:
- It promotes its toolbars on sites targeted at kids.
- It promotes its toolbars through ads that appear to be part of other companies' sites.
- It promotes its toolbars through other companies' spyware.
- It is installed without any disclosure whatsoever and without any consent from the user whatsoever thereby considering it as foistware.
- It solicits installations via "deceptive door openers" that do not accurately describe the offer; failing to affirmatively show a license agreement; linking to a EULA via an off-screen link.
- It makes confusing changes to user's browsers - increasing Ask Toolbar's revenues while taking users to pages they didn't intend to visit.
You can view more of that from 'this' site. Another recommended read would be 'this' article.
Now in accordance to these facts, I will now present to you the proper way of removal.
- Click Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs.
- Locate and select AskBarDis or Ask Toolbar on the list and click the Remove button.
- Follow the on-screen steps which concerns the removal.
- Now delete the following folder C:\Program Files\AskBarDis or C:\Program Files\AskToolbar and empty your Recycle Bin.
- Step 7
Looking at your log, I have seen that you have the program(s) below installed. I highly suggest a removal through Add or Remove Programs or Programs and Features. I am asking you this for I have seen negative feedback from users. Should the program(s) in question be utterly clean, no such comment should be seen. Take this as a pre-cautionary measure. Better safe than sorry.
The list below shows the program(s) with poor or flawed reputation that you currently have installed in your system:
- DVDVideoSoftTB Toolbar
- Messenger Plus! Live
- MyShoppingGenie
- Registry Reviver
Please respond back if you encounter difficulties uninstalling the program(s).
- Step 8
Please run HijackThis as Administrator. Click 'Do a system scan only' and place a check next to the following line(s) if present:

That's what system restore does, it goes back in time (reverses) the bad effects on your computer to a cleaner state.
