YOUR SAFETY NET
Periodically you need a Restore Point.  This is a quick safety net that saves your System Files in their current working configuration and tucks them away. When the FBI virus freezes the computer, a techie can revert back to the former clean version in about 5 clicks.
No Restore Points ?  $90 at the shop to clean it up.
Click on START
-in SEARCH type CREATE RESTORE
-near the top click on CREATE A RESTORE POINT
-click on CREATE
-give it a label like WORKS OKAY
-click on OK
Done. You are safer now.
