    So guys, yesterday, I downloaded something and it gave my computer a virus. It then came up with “MS Removel Tool” Which turned out to be a hoax. I searched google and found 2 ways to remove it. The 1st way would be to do a System Restore. The 2nd way would be to remove it manually.

    Problems;
    1st - I don't know if there is a backup for System Restore to revert to, if you need one that is.

    2nd - For removing it manually, it says I need the program “Windows Task Manager” I have searched my programs and have only found “Windows Task Launcher”
    Will that work?
    And do I need to have a backup for System Restore? And is there a way to find any currently active backups?

    The computers is a Vista

    I wrote this on my DSi by the way

    To launch windows task manager just press those keys: Ctrl+Alt+Delete, or right click somewhere in the menu bar in the bottom and click start task manager.
    The system frequently and autmatically makes backups to use the system restore function. You have the backups.
