PC probs

[erastes]

something horrible happened to my PC last night, I went to a vureel site (NEVER GOING THERE AGAIN) from STC and got hit by a virus, a bloody Trojan Horse called Security System.  What it does is launch a fake security programme which promises to clean your pc and goes nowhere.

So I did an urgent anti-virus sweep and according to my virus and spyware – did belt and braces – the damn thing is gone, but it has fucked my computer up royally.  A lot of my shortcuts have vanished, and I can’t even access desktop help.  FUCK FUCK FUCK.

So, I know I can tell my PC to restore to yesterdays settings but I can’t access the help to tell me how to do this. the help has gone!!

PLEASE can someone access their help (I use windows XP on this PC) and copy the instructions for me?

*desperate and scared!!!!*

Ten years w/no problems is truly amazing.
Mac has a fairly inexpensive program (that comes with the new Macs really cheap) that lets you export a doc into a word file, text file, rtf, just about anything. I have used it with no complaints from anyone. Love it, as you can leave comments to yourself w/in the document, or others (lie critiquers) can leave comments as well, and they can all be removed later with one touch of the keyboard.

Yet, before I had a Mac, I loved my PC, as I had worked on one for years and learned to write computer programs on it, so I knew it inside and out. Computers were so much simpler in those days.
