  1. Windows restoring old wallpaper and trojan


    Everytime i fresh install my windows 10 using a usb stick and format and reinstall, after a couple of hours my old wallpaper(preformat) appears on my desktop. Where did it come from? Where are your wallpapers backed up?? i don't even have a Onedrive account. Also right after the fresh install, i added all my emails reinstalled steam and google chrome, i decided to run a full scan using defender, it found the Trojan:HTML/Phish.F Where the hell did it come from? i didn't download anything sketchy. It was located appdata/local/comms/unistore/data/3/f/f- many number.dat

    Are they related?

    EDIT: the usb stick used to do a fresh install was fully formated, and i didn't plug in any other external storage device. Im seriously baffled to where the trojan came from, i did the fresh install today

    Restoring Windows 10 Image using Macrium Reflect


    In addition to the above. Here's my suggestion in step by step.
    I assume you have Macrium Installed in your current HD and already made a backup copy.
    1. Connect your new HD via USB port and boot up.
    2. Run Macrium, click on Restore tab then select the Backup Image that you made to restore
    3. click on "select a different target disk" then select your new HD as destination

    4. Proceed to restore then Shutdown and disconnect the old HD and replace with the new HD
    5. Boot up with your new HD.

  3. Windows XP PRO error after restore

    System restore is handy when it works like it did for me 2 days ago saving the need to reinstall all of my software as well as windows, id suggest using norton Ghost 12 for an excellent system restore feature.
