    Hi.. I'm back.

    Creating a System Restore Point still doesnt work, but to be honest I never created a system restore point before.. so I dont know if this problem maybe existed even prior to the infection and therefore it may not be related to that at all. The issue with the extra drives in safe mode, still bugs me alot.. I keep wondering what is causing that, you got any ideas regarding that?

    Ok I finally figured out how to create a system restore point following these instructions from here :

    I didnt even need to restart the computer, creating a system restore point worked right away. So only the issue with the drives remains, any thoughts on that?
