Retrunil Failed to restore changes

I just tried the free version and enabled the Safe. I then installed a program and browsed some pages. I always save my open tabs. Later on Returnil found and removed a suspect file. This is all while I have the safe enabled.

Upon reboot my open tabs had not changed and the suspect file was not in the original location (not sure it was dangerous to begin with). Did I do something wrong? Do I need to enable "wipe all disk changes at startup"??

Note I used a slightly older version of Returnil. Thank.

 

Hi madhouserevival and welcome to the forums

What did you do to enable the System Safe virtualization (tray icon or through the GUI)? Also, do you have your programs/data on separate drives?

Thanks, glad to be here. Impressive software.

I used the GUI. The file that was removed was on a separate hard drive and, now that I think of it, I have my Firefox profiles on that drive, too! Makes sense now.

Somehow I got the idea that Returnil applied to the whole system rather than just the OS drive. Thanks.

 

That is what I thought. If you are interested in multi-partition virtualization it will be coming to the 3x series and is available with RVS Lite 2011 Beta now.

That's good news. Hope it won't cost too much. I love Malwarebytes, but I blocks good ips and sometimes lets spyware (meaning browser hijackers) get through. I've scanned know infections and it didn't recognize them. Ran Asquared and it found too many things (had to reinstall Windows after using it LOL). Your software seems to be a little stricter.
