Hello,
I've been using HiJackThis to virtually remove any browser hijackes and spywares. However, sometimes this software mistakenly detects a software a hijacker or a spyware and I have accidentally deleted it myself. How can I restore the files I accidentally deleted and is there a way to prevent this from happening in the future?
How To Restore Items I Mistakenly Deleted in HiJackThis
Hi there,
Here a system restore will do the job. You can use system restore to undo harmful changes to yourÂ
Â
computer and restore its settings and performance. System restore returns your computer to an earlier timeÂ
Â
(called a restore point) without causing you to loose recent work.
Â
Any changes that system restore make to your computer are completely reversible.
Â
Â
Your computer automatically creates restore points( called system check points ), but you can also useÂ
Â
system restore to create your own restore points. This is useful if you are about to make a major change toÂ
Â
your system, such as installing a program, removing a program or changing your registry.
Â
To start recovering files go to System Restore… Start -> programs -> accessories -> System tools -> SystemÂ
Â
restore.
In the right side of the panel select the option ' Restore my computer to an earlier time'.
then click Next. In the next window you will see a calendar and restore points next to it.
Select the appropriate date and select a restore point. And then click next. In confirmation window click NextÂ
Â
again. Then your system will automatically restart and will begin restoration.
Â
Hope these helped.
