I edited out the cookies.

A few nasty trojans appeared....I have no idea how they got there..

And I keep getting a window waying "windows installer is preparing to install" and it just stays there for ages until it eventually goes away. I found windows installer in add/remove programs and it looked very dodgy...it had strange numbers and letters in the name, I removed it, restarted, and it was back in the list again...

What happened, a few weeks ago, is that windows installer stopped working, so I went to the internet, and downloaded a version of it to replace the one on my computer. that's when it all started happening. And it's seriously slowing down my gaming, making it minimising it for windows installer, making it lag, crash, etc.

I think that was wrong. Lol.

hi Neon Knight,

looks like whats left either as been quarantined or is in system restore points. anything in quarantine dont worry about, in fact you can delete the items if you want.
for the rest we can clean out the old restore points and make new ones like this:

1. Turn off System Restore. (deletes old possibly infected restore point)
On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
Check Turn off System Restore.
Click Apply, and then click OK.

2. Reboot.

3. Turn ON System Restore.(new restore points on a clean system)
On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
UN-Check *Turn off System Restore*.
Click Apply, and then click OK, then reboot
