I want to do a System Restore?

I think I got a virus from downloading a program off the internet. The virus was created on March 6th. It is March 10th right now. I cannot delete the virus. It will not let me. Plus, there are also registry stuff it did. I have no idea what to do. IF I got the virus from the file I downloaded on March 6th, and if I restore my PC to March 5th (a day before), will that get rid of the virus? What exactly will the system restore. Will it delete some of my downloaded files (which I want it to do). Therefore, will the virus be gone?

By the way, the virus IS a .exe file, and I clicked it. I deleted it, but it already activated. There are Trojans in my registry.

If you do a System Restore it can't deletes the virus, but it makes changes to the system according to that Restore point. Virus may not be deleted or cleaned, you need check with the performance of pc after restoring system. System restore just restore the files and folders according to the selected restore point and already your system is infected with virus or Trojans  they can't let the system to restore to a certain point. Mainly go to safe mode once, while booting press f8 choose safe mode  Restore the system from safe mode if it, good, or scan whole computer with the antivirus.

My opinion is don't do a system restore, Just install a trial version of Norton Internet Security and update virus definitions scan the whole system. I assure you that it will clean the entire PC. If you can afford buy a full version of Norton Internet Security.

I already did this type of procedure, like I don't have any antivirus in my PC at that time my PC is infected with virus same like .exe virus. Restored system to a previous state, but that was not successful  and again used system restore from safe mode, same problem, just downloaded the Norton Internet Security Trial version it worked well.

And I bought the Norton Internet Security Full Version, this virus protection software is awesome.

I used Driver Scanner to update 7 of my drivers and computer is running slow. Should I go back to restore?

I had a used the paid version of Driver Scanner 2013. It updated 7 of my drivers. It is made by uniblue.com. I am not sure if this have anything to do with it, but when I changed my windows password the next day, the password did not work. I had to have Staple's reset the windows password. I use Advanced System Care Ultimate 6 and ran all the programs to keep my computer fast and virus free. Please let me know if I should go back to the restore point? Will that mess anything up? Please help.

I checked with a windows tuner and it said my computer is running at 94%.

My Suggestion is don't use any 3rd party software's to update your system drivers, in my view it download the drivers from other websites or any third party websites, for example say that your mother board is ASUS so in this case it downloads drivers from other third party sites, not from official site (ASUS). If you do the same there might problem with registry entries or signature files, if they mismatch with your system drivers wont work correctly.

Advanced system care ultimate, this is the software a new word to me, I didn't hear about this. As I dont know whether it is good one or bad one, may take some time to review it. Best use the popular internet security softwares or all in one softwares. 

If you have mentioned model of your motherboard, I can give you the link. Any way you can down the latest motherboard drivers from the manufacturer's website. dont forget to defragment your hard drive once or twice in a month, If you done with this, you will find the difference in performance of your PC

Problem connecting to internet after deleting a program?

Ok, so I didn't have enough memory on my computer so I had to delete some things. I though I had some kind of virus I downloaded so I started deleting programs. (stupid I know) I ended up deleting a program that kind of looked like a crab? It said something about disk or whatever. I don't remember anything more than that, but after my laptop kept saying something wasn't plugged in and the internet wasn't working because of it, but on this computer the internet works just fine and the box says it is working. Did I delete a program needed to access the internet? How can I get it back? I already tired to do a recovery but no dates were saved so it wouldn't let me. Please anything at all would make me feel much better. And the sooner the better cause I'm really freaking out.

So you have deleted the program, means that you have deleted .exe files. This means that exe plays a major role in here. Better get to know which program you have deleted and you mentioned that you have enough memory on you computer may be you do not have enough memory in RAM or harddisk.

Dont you have any antivirus? Better install a good internet security softwares like Norton or Mcafee. One option is there to get your files back which you have deleted. Go to safemode, while booting press F8 and selected safe mode. You will be asked do a system restore press "No" and selected system check point or if a program installed or uninstalled you they create a system restore point.

Better choose system restore point and press next, your system restores to that point how it will be at that point of time.

Hope you problem will be solved.
