Recovery software is more useful than anti-virus ones

[new-way2005]

Recovery software is more useful than anti-virus ones.Since my sweet PC was bought 2 months ago, it has been attacked by variou virus. Due to the limittion of my computer Knowlege, I can't do nothing. I installed lots kind of Anti-vrius softwares, but nothing changed. At last I found a new netside, which saying about a kind of Recovery software, Ryrecovery software. It may help you too.:lol

I believe what transpired for him is this:

1. Installed all kinds of anti-virus s/w but finds that it mostly fails or at best does what malware or viruses do, slows down the pc.
2. He finds some recovery s/w that allows easy recovery.

I have to agree with what he said. Graceful recovery is perhaps sometimes a better bet than anti-virus s/w.

For me, when I used WinXP (2000 [MSDN beta] till it went retail until 2007), I never use any anti-virus/malware apps. I just use FF and *never* *ever* open emails from dubious sources or visit strange sites. I also *never* *ever* use apps or scripts from strangers. And my system is fast and sweet without the anti-virus apps slowing me down.

Since 2008 April, I've been running Ubuntu full-time and been good so far. :D

To that list I would add a comment, it does not count as a "backup" if you have not tested the "restore" part. In addition to making a backup, you need to be sure you can restore your data (make sure your backup strategy works before you need to use it).
