[QUOTE="kcnemo, post: 1406064, member: 207288"] [b]System Restore[/b] As a security measure I had turned off System Restore. Having had a few Windows viruses in my pre-Mac days, I found out like a lot of people, that the viruses some how came back when you did a System Restore. As I said, every time I rebooted, it was still locked. I wouldn't have even got to System Restore. It was just dumb luck I got it unlocked to get to the Control Panel. I wouldn't even bother with Zone Alarm and disconnect Windows from the Internet, but I use an email header checking program that they haven't upgraded to Lion yet, so I had to quit using the Mac version an revert to Windows. In 10 years of Zone Alarm, this is the 1st ever problem. I'm 5 programs away from being Windows free. Unfortunately 3 of them will never write a Mac version and I use them daily in my business. [B]Anyway, Thank you for your suggestion.[/B] Lesson learned. Don't rush, backup, use Snapshot [/QUOTE]
