Microsoft's built-in System Restore for Windows XP, Vista, and 7 have saved me a lot of trouble in fixing computer problems, provided the system can still successfully run in Safe Mode at least. But on times of malware or virus infection, System Restore is not a good idea. And it is a good practice to delete all previous restore points after removing the virus and malware so that you won't accidentally bring them back. Here's how...
To refresh System Restore in XP, click
Start, then
run, type
sysdm.cpl, and press
ENTER. Click the
System Restore tab. Check
Turn off System Restore and click
Apply, then
Yes. After the long wait is over and you can access that dialog box again, uncheck
Turn off System Restore and click
OK.
In Vista, click
Start, type
sysdm.cpl, and press
ENTER. Click the
System Protection tab. Uncheck all available disks, and confirm that you want to
Turn System Restore Off. Click
Apply. After waiting, recheck the box next to
C:, and then click
Apply again.
For Windows 7, click
Start, type
sysdm.cpl, and press
ENTER. Click the
System Protection tab. Select your C: drive and click the
Configure button. Select
Turn off system protection and click
Apply. After Windows finishes processing this command, select
Restore system settings and previous versions of files and click
OK.
