Talking about the shortcomings of shadow system and the unloading method under WinXP

Since WinXP has stopped serving, in order to prevent various problems of WinXP, many users will use the shadow system. The main function of the shadow system is to restore the system and protect the disk after reboot. Most users prefer PowerShadow shadow system. Then, after installing PowerShadow, WinXP system will be all right, and it will not invade? In fact, this is not correct. The following small series will explain the shortcomings of shadow system and the uninstall method under WinXP.

Five major shortcomings of the shadow system:

PowerShadow in front of a hacking Trojan is a helpless

We know that there is a widely used Trojan in the Internet called Trojan Trojan (Everyone That knows). The hacking Trojan is strictly a one-time Trojan. Why? The hacking Trojan aims to steal your specific account password. Once the implanted system steals your account number and password, the Trojan completes the mission. You will clean up him again. The damage caused by the Trojan has been saved and cannot be recovered. However, you have such a Trojan under the protection of PowerShadow, because the shadow is a virtual system rather than a firewall with protection. When you restart the system, the Trojan disappears and the account and password are already in the hands of the hacker. PowerShadow not only did not protect, but did the work of destroying evidence for hackers.

Two strong protections are still open

Everyone often installs a variety of software, installed under the protection of PowerShadow can not be installed, we must install in normal mode Software, if this time the package is bundled with a Trojan. You will still be in the Trojan, and then start the protection of PowerShadow, unless you find it, this Trojan will always accompany you.

Three preconceived

Many people like to install all the software that should be installed after the system is installed, then install PowerShadow to protect it for security. If your application is not clean, the result will be The second point is the same.

Four System Crashes

PowerShadow, like other restore software, still has a system crash. PowerShadow users who have had experience with crashes should have had the experience of not finding the ** file after booting and having to reinstall it all. In fact, the reason is very simple PowerShadow restore error, it will lead to the system can not start and file directory loss, and PowerShadow rewrite the partition information and boot program data, it is easy to cause system crash.

Five Cannot uninstall completely

If you uninstall through a simple uninstaller, you cannot uninstall PowerShadow. After uninstalling PowerShadow, you can use the sreng software to see the driver and you will find snpshot. Sys is still running. After using SREng to delete or change this file in safe mode, the system crashes and cannot be started or enter safe mode. Why? It's very simple. The startup method of this file is boot start. You will definitely have problems deleting it in safe mode. However, the PowerShadow uninstall does not restore the modified master boot. The system crash is not surprising.

WinXP shadow system uninstall method:

WinXP uninstall shadow system has several methods, which can completely uninstall the shadow is low grid and change the hard disk. But the low grid will hurt the hard drive.

In addition to the above two methods, WinXP can also try to use the system installation disk drive to boot into the installation interface to delete all partitions and then create a new partition, and then start a long system reload.

Secondly, users with full Ghost can try Ghost restore, but according to the feedback effect, there is still some residual. For users who only format the system disk, according to the feedback information, it cannot be completely uninstalled.

Here is another way for users to share the shadow system:

First run the shadow's own uninstall, uninstall quickly, and don't even restart (restart when installed) It seems not honest, hehe!

With TU, the uninstallation has an error, that is, the driver sys, I restart.

Using TU again, the sys was uninstalled, I opened the sreng, no exception, it was indeed removed.

But the problem is, after I reboot again, the boot prompts about 5, 6 unknown hardware devices need to install the driver, I click to install, of course, can not find the driver, hey, dead things, waiting here I cleaned up the following registry (novice, no idea, although I know that this trick is not very useful), huh, huh, then look at the properties of several unknown devices, are ROOT_LEGACY_XXX, a smart machine, as long as you delete these registry related Enough. Haha.

Their position is clear because they have repeatedly smashed the soft —— although I don't know what the registry of this place is, let me know, the path is: HKLM_SYSTEM_CONTROLSET001_ENUM_ROOT_XXX

HKLM_SYSTEM_CONTROLSET002_ENUM_ROOT_XXX, HKLM_SYSTEM_CURRENTCONTROLSET_ENUM_ROOT_XXX, these are basically duplicate content, it seems that one is a backup and the like, but in short, it is better to delete it once, then I open the property one by one, find the corresponding XXX location, delete? It's not so easy, your authority is not enough, this is not very worried, ICESWORD comes, delete one by one, but those XXX names, my head is faint, and there are 5,6, remember not clear, everyone go Look, but be careful, don't delete the mistake, huh, huh.

After deleting it, it will be fine. It will not pop up the prompt that the hardware can't be driven. It is very annoying. This way, everyone can see it, and it will be useful.

The above is the shortcomings and uninstallation methods of the WinXP shadow system that we want to explain today. Although the shadow system is difficult to uninstall, it cannot completely negate its role. Therefore, whether the shadow system should be used or not depends on the needs of users.
