Dell PC Restore question
I'm in the middle of trying to fix a Dimension B110. Basically the big exploit we had earlier this year on Windows around March or April hit my second computer before I could update with Windows Update. It was the trojan that also had a rerouter in it that screwed up where programs would connect too when trying to update like with Microsoft Update or Ad-Aware.
I tried system restore and it fixed the damage but not the rerouting problem. So I was going to use the Dell PC Restore. I'm at the step where you remove all the non-essential perphials except for monitor, mouse and keyboard. It may be a stupid question but would it matter if I kept my computer speakers plugged in or should they be unplugged as well?

Speakers are OK, they have no bearing on the installation.

Thanks for both of your help. Got it restored and the bug that was on my comp is gone. I got all the Windows Updates installed today. Now just have to get the McAfee that was pre-installed on my comp(without my knowledge and even thou I said I didn't want any Anti-virus on my comp was going to buy my own) and install NIS again.
I know Norton has a removal tool, but does McAfee have one as well? I think before I just uninstalled McAfee from the control panel. But usually they recommend you using some removal tool to get rid of all traces of the program if you're not going to use any products from the company any longer. I am going to google and look on their website but since this topic is still up I figured I'd ask here a well.
