Immediate System Recovery

The story continues after this thread :

After separating system and data, I was ready to execute my other plans.

In spite of using
- all kinds of cleaning softwares
- all kinds of registry softwares
- all kinds of AV/AS/AT-scanners
- Windows Add/Remove Programs and/or specialized uninstalling softwares
I asked myself, why are so many users still getting in trouble on a regular base, including me.
Something wasn't right and the only possible logical explanation was that none of these cleaning softwares and scanners, did a very good job.

First I bought, a decent Image Backup Software (ShadowProtect Desktop) to solve the worst disaster-scenarios : physical disk-crashes and very destructive malware.

Then I installed FirstDefense-ISR, the king of all "Immediate System Recovery (ISR)"-softwares and all my problems were gone in one hit.

I can try and test any software and get rid of it completely, without using
Windows Add/Remove Programs or specialized uninstalling softwares or cleaning softwares or registry cleaners.
After each reboot I have my clean, original system back in less than 2 minuts.
My reboot also removes two kinds of malware : discovered malware and undiscovered malware.

After 3 years working without scanners, I scanned my computer with the very best scanners and they couldn't find anything, not even a tracking cookie, because there is nothing to detect on a clean system.
Later on :
- I installed Anti-Executable to kill the enemies of FirstDefense-ISR.
- I installed Sandboxie to secure my data on disk-D, when I'm surfing on the internet.
The funny thing is that my 3 security softwares, don't even know what malwares is or even recognize it.

End of boring story

Not boring at all, unusual postings but interesting Unfortunately what you talk about will make sense to a very small percentage (geeks like us), most computer users are not like us, they just want to use it. When things go wrong they take it to a Computer shop or turn to a forum for help, they are helped if possible but are not interested in any advice so it happens all over again.

Data loss is the biggest killer, how many times have we heard "I have important data, how can I get it back" yet never once have they done a simple backup of that "important" data. These are the majority of users who will never learn.

I fully agree with everything you said. I feel like Don Quichotte sometimes.
God must have liked these users alot, he created so many of them.
