they been saying on the news that make a backup on all your files and hard drive, in case virus do anything, better be safe then sorry later.

all should keep your anti-virus programs up to date and make back up's at lease once every week of your system or Hard drive. better be safe then sorry some virus are not known to it hit some one system.

as for unplug your system yes turn it off and unplug any network you have connected, wait 24hrs later turn it on by this time virus no longer active. they go off like a time bomb by your system clock. Friday at midnight (24:00hr) the virus will be active. satday 12:01am (00:01hr) should be ok to turn it on if you can backup or don't really care then leave it on hope to god no one open a e-mail last 3wks that it got into your system without you knowing about.

you have till 11:59Pm friday to get your system cover for.
1.) backup your Hard drive!
not system restore will not do it ether it will only load system files back in and will not reload files or programs back in, if anything it load back in the virus.

2.) get a anti-virus program that will do boot scan of hard drive and keep it update.

if you find any virus and you remove it and system restore is enable disable it then reboot then back to desktop re-enable it then only. it keep a copy of the file in restore folder this is the only way to remove all item in system restore folder.

Windows Xp you can disable it from desktop after re-enable it that easy
