Windows System Restore is a very easy way to disable or uninstall any program that might be corrupting your system.
Just follow these easy steps to get started:
Select Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools>System Restore
(Vista Users: The menu options are the same but you can also enter "System Restore" in any search window for faster access)
You should select Restore my computer to an earlier time.
Pick a date prior to the problem starting.
Please note, this process will not delete any of your data. It will uninstall any programs that were installed after the date you select.
Select next and the process will begin, your machine will automatically reboot.
Restore successfully complete. If it was unsuccessful, you would see a message stating that the restore process did not complete and that you should pick another date.
Repeat the process and choosing another date but if the same message appears then system restore is unable to resolve your issue.
