Can't remember 2000 for sure, been a long time since I had that operating system, but:

 

Click on start, programs, accessories, systems tools, restore.

Select a date recently before the virus took over.

 

Worked for me a couple of months ago.

is there any other way?

 

anybody?

Doesn't sound good if you don't have a backup or system restore option...

 

Sorry, hopefully somebody else can give a suggestion.

Do you know what virus it was? Can you boot into Windows at all, or does it stop at some point before Windows? If you just want to recover data, like email....then pending your answers, I, or someone else may be able to steer you in the right direction. As for sytstem restores, my recolection is that it was only available for Windows ME and XP. There was a way in 95, but it sucked.

Just realized, would be a good thing to remember the members business directory under the main home page. A member, Wendel, who has helped out many here could probably help you with this. PM him. May have to spend a few bucks, but I bet your pc will be back up to snuff quite fast.
