    I am trying to get rid of ---Threat: Trojan.Cachecachekit. The symantec gives the following advice. The problem is that when I 2X the system tab, there is no performance tab. I have windows 2000 pro. Can I please get some help. I am almost positive I am logged on as admin. Thanks, Computer Clueless


    1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.

    2. Double-click System, and then click the Performance tab.

    3. Click File System, and then click the Troubleshooting tab.

    4. Click to select the Disable System Restore check box, click Apply, click to clear the Disable System Restore check box, click Apply, and then click OK.

    5. Restart the computer when you are prompted to do so. When the computer restarts, the data store is purged and the System Restore feature begins monitoring the system again.

    Windows 2000 does not have System Restore only WinXP and WinME have it.

    How can I get rid of this virus. I get a symantec notification every 8 seconds or so saying it has been deleted.
